In Stitches Vintage sewing machine sales and repair. Happy sewing.

We sell, service, and restore vintage sewing machines, provide a wide selection of new and vintage parts, and also service newer sewing machines. We would also like our FB page to serve as a resource for information where we can share tips, tricks, and a lot of images of these machines we do so adore. Please refrain from posting links to online sales groups like Marketplace or Kijiji, if you have machines you would like to sell we offer a consignment / listing service. A little about us:

I am a forcibly retired machinist, and former rehabilitation practitioner who has always loved sewing, and working on anything mechanical so this little shop keeps me more than busy enough with repairs, teaching, and sales. As my health limits me to part time work I try not to take on too much, and because we also do house calls, we only schedule by appointment.

Tgif...

Got some results back and while I passed some tests (good), more tests are pending and more have to be reviewed at my next appointment.

Other therapies are also working, to identify and help me me with some strategies to deal with the non physical issues.

Still dealing with some chronic pain and fatigue, and making sure I don't overdo things.

This healing journey continues, and I have been feeling better mentally and physically as I work through so many things.

We will be reopening the shop tomorrow September 1st, and working on a limited basis as we continue to wind things down. This will probably take some time as there is a lot to sort and go through, it could take me all winter.

Will know more about the physical aspects after my doctor's appointment this week, as to what has been going on.

Just can't over do it, and maintain some balance between this, the day job, and some personal issues.

Getting rest has been so important, and being able to take better care of my mental and physical health.

I have some really good friends here and out in the real world, and am so grateful to those who have reached out with support.

It will be a few weeks until I know what has been going on with me physically, feeling mentally stronger than I was, as other things resolve.

Have lost 14 pounds in the past 3 months, despite eating well, sleeping well, and remaining reasonably active.

Hope it is just something that can be resolved, and not something else.

I look terrible here.. maybe it was just bad lighting. But that shirt used to be a lot more snug.

Will see where I am at when I go for mh next weigh in.

I hope everyone is well, accidentally turned off the page but fatigue can do that.

Still a work on progress her, processing grief, getting resettled, and getting moving.

Thanks so much for all the well wishes, it means a lot to me.

After much reflection, we have decided that over the coming months we will be winding things down.

Recent life changes, mental and physical health issues, and shifting priorities mean I just don't have the time or energy I once had.

I kept trying to find it, that spark I once had.

It isn't there.

It was always a struggle and just got harder to find a balance with work and a family, and you never know just how any more sunsets you will be able to enjoy.

I have enjoyed our time together and the many friends I have made, I treasure that more than anything.

I will be booking appointments for pickups on the weekends, as there are machines that need to go home.

Everything will be going up for sale and hope other people can enjoy this collection we have built over nearly two decades.

FFAF rolls around again... you know you haven't been okay when your bike has sat until the end of June. Washed it, checked all the fluids, and tyres and rode a bit.

It has been a really hard couple of weeks, should be getting tests next week.

06/19/2026

Just checking on in FFAF and hope this messages finds you all well.

This past week has been a journey I wasn't expecting to take, and I don't know where this story will take us.

The page is blank and I have a lot of work to do.

I know it isn't Friday but just wanted to make a quick update that I have been extremely ill for almost three weeks.

And it is probably worse than I think.

Will likely need some tests run to determine exactly what is amiss.

05/01/2026

Tgif and happy first of May... birds are singing and I even heard chirping frogs. Hope everyone is well.

We'd like to wish all our friends and family a happy and joyous Easter, and say that we are ready to come out of hibernation here in the far north, after what has been a very long winter.
