I would love to see a kit with sewing stuff—needles, thread, spools of thread, pins, pin cushions, a tape measure, bolts of fabric, and a vintage sewing machine. I would especially love an old Sears-type pedal sewing machine.  I’ve looked all over the net for these things for a project I’m working on and have been unsuccessful at finding much for Poser. 

Thanks,
BB

Well Ness Repros has some of that…

http://www.nessrepros.co.uk/

The site can be a bit of a bear to navigate, so it is actually best to copy and paste that link.  The items will be on the needlework page. (he’s got all sorts of filtering enabled to prevent hot linking)

There’s some sewing machines on Turbosquid…but they are expensive and not rigged.

There’s also an old one…by Jean-c/Cephalene that’s in pz3 format…I’m not sure if it is still available.  I’m trying to see if I can find it anywhere. (and if it still works in DS4.5…don’t have newer versions of Poser, so can’t check there).

Yes…it’s still available on Renderosity…and it loads in DS4.5…since it’s an older Poser item it needs materials tweaking in DS and probably could stand some mats updating in Poser.

And edit again: Added render

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check out Ness Repros. Yes, Turbo Squid is outrageously expensive and their 3D models can’t be used in commerical stock images, which makes them useless to me.  I’d bought a bunch of models there a few years back only to discover that I couldn’t use them in my artwork. I did license Jean’s sewing machine for commercial use a few weeks ago but haven’t gotten around to trying it out yet.
