All About Make It Sew
Giving Vintage Machines New Life
Make It Sew is a home based shop in the Renton Highlands that services vintage, mechanical sewing machines. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it to fix up your mom’s or grandma’s old sewing machine, or that one you found on the side of the road, the answer is YES! To get them humming again, most of these old beauties just need a general service (cleaning, oiling, and minor repairs).
Make It Sew is a one woman show run by me, Carrie Korynta. I've been sewing all my life, and over #pandemiclife my sewing hobby branched into working on old sewing machines. I am trained through Sewing Doc Academy, and continue to refine my skills and learn new ones through the fine people there.
Is My Machine Vintage and Mechanical?
Answer YES to these, and your machine is likely to run forever:
Is it made mostly of metal?
Does it weigh a TON?
Is it from the 1970s or prior?
Does it work using gears and levers rather than computers/electronics?
Answer YES to these, and it is probably is NOT Vintage and Mechanical:
Does it have a screen somewhere on it?
Is the outside casing made of plastic?
Was it made in the 1990s or after?
