significance of Sewing Machine

When Benny needs to help Patsy prepare linens for her upcoming marriage, she remembers an old sewing machine that is in a storage room at her father's shop. When she goes to get it, she opens the drawers and finds the money Sean has been stealing from the shop for years. The ancient machine also represents the cramped, old-fashioned nature of the store before Benny and her mother step in to turn it around.
