“Patricia” – 1935 Singer 221 Featherweight with accessories and case

Step back in time with this beautifully preserved 1935 Singer 221 Featherweight, one of the earliest models in Singer’s legendary Featherweight line. Celebrated for its lightweight aluminum body, smooth precision stitching, and timeless Art Deco design, this vintage sewing machine combines collectible charm with everyday sewing performance.

Manufactured in Singer’s Elizabethport, New Jersey factory, this Featherweight features the iconic scroll faceplate, original black enamel japanned finish, and gold decals that defined Singer’s craftsmanship of the era. The 221 model is beloved by quilters and sewers alike for its portable design, quiet operation, and reliable straight stitch that rivals modern machines.

This particular machine has been professionally serviced and restored—cleaned, oiled, and tested to ensure flawless operation. The motor runs smoothly, the tension is balanced, and the feed dogs advance fabric evenly for beautiful, consistent stitches. This machine comes with a 30-day labor warranty on the service.

While the current finish is in good condition and will last many years, this machine is eligible for a discount if you’d like to have this machine painted to the color of your choice from our catalog.

Note: If you have the machine shipped to you, the machine will be wrapped carefully to reduce the chance of damage, which results in the need for a larger shipping box and higher shipping cost. If you are local to the Atlanta area, local pickup is free.
