About Me

Joanna: By day I make my own line of handbags, messenger bags, and tech covers that I sell on my own website, etsy, and other venues. All my sewing machines are vintage mechanical sewing machines. I use an industrial sewing machine for most of my bags. I also have a repainted pink Singer 221 Featherweight, a Singer 500A, Singer 206k, and a Singer 215G. I am taking my love of vintage sewing machines and learning more about restoration and repair. These were all awesome machines meant for a lifetime of sewing.
