- Object History
- This sewing machine and set was owned by Rose Tuff . The sewing machine represents a large part of Rose's life, who often sewed her siblings' clothing from a young age while growing up, and left school after Grade 8 to begin working as a dressmaker to help financially support her family. Rose moved to BC in 1941, met her husband Joseph, and the couple moved to South Burnaby. Later in life, Rose continued to pursue the creative arts in many ways including welding, sculpting and teaching creative arts to children aged 6-14 for the Burnaby School Board for eight years.
