But that's a modern sewing machine sitting on an ancient sewing machine (assuming its anything like the Singer table pop-up thing my Nana had when she was around).
No joke though, I currently have my sewing machine sitting in front of the secondary PC in our family room. I have found sewing to be up there with other non-tech hobbies like building things with wood, digging in the dirt, and taking care if my animals as far as brain health and sensory satisfaction.
I'm a middle aged cishet dad of a boy, too. I just bought the thing last year for some fun crafty projects we had in mind.
I've always been into techy hobbies and some of the crafty stuff goes right along. I have a Silhouette machine, a laser cutter, and a couple 3D printers.
Been eyeballing embroidery machines lately, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

That footpedal is the drive for the needle
Oh, maybe it's cables and a rubber mat? ...It looks like the wrought iron(ish?) foot pedal, at least.
Thanks for the nostalgia! I needed to think of Nana again

She can sew RGB lighting into your ugly Christmas sweater now.
To look at? Coolest shit in the block
To use? I struggle sewing with full midday sunlight, I can't imagine being able to see shit with a strongly colored backlight...
Shit, mine doesn't have a treadle...

Is the blue light to discourage her from IV drug use?
Hot swap cantalivere bobbin tray, titanium alloy thread guides, and a custom built fully geared mechanical foot pedal.

A stylish mix of classic and modern, but I think it has practicality issues like where to place the modern machines foot pedal?
