I'm Chrys! I do sewing machine repair and maintenance!

My specialties:

  • Vintage, 1880-1990
  • Mechanical ONLY, treadle and hand turn okay
  • Cleaning, inside and out
  • Repairs, including parts replacement
  • Regular maintenance


Are you looking for a reliable sewing machine but hate the price of brand new machines? Cheap, newly manufactured machines are unreliable and made of plastic, while more reliable ones are super expensive!! Using a vintage machine can get all your sewing needs met while having low maintenance needs. Plus, you can experience a bit of history! With older machines, I like to imagine the projects that were made by women before me on the very same machine.
