Seamstress, New York

Machine was born on the slippery slopes of Sew and found at an early age that she was destined to be a child sweatshop employee.  She heard that a sewing machine tattoo would save her, and so she hand pricked her grandmother’s Singer into her arm.  Saved from doom, the sewing machine came alive and soon, Machine created wild fashions such as her grandmother’s rug skirt. The necklace also came from the tattoo, but, unfortunately, the spell ran out and she had to buy her top from urban outfitters.
