Singer 338 (1965)

Got the 338 at a garage sale, the case was trashed but the machine works fine.
Has the very familiar baby blue color from the 60's


Also has a unique bobbin winding mechanism that is completely hidden, very modern!

I recently took it to play with and it really is a nice little sewer.

  1. Your 338 is in excellent condition! The face plates usually crack near the screws that hold them in place. I love the color of these machines. The tension knob on my 338 is cracked. I was disappointed to find out they no longer make replacements in light blue.

  3. My fav! I bought mine in 66’! Have see everything you can possibly imagine! Flash forward 2020’- still runs great! 54 years and I still love her!!!
    Ive done some upholstery, but it’s not really made for super heavy fabric. Denim is fine.
