Hello!

My name’s Olly and I’m Simply Stitchy.

I collect and sew from vintage patterns and have an ever-increasing collection of vintage sewing machines.

Well... Actually that’s sewing machines in general!

I explore the machines, the sewing, and the patterns. With a dash of history and maintenance tips along the way.

Is the old adage true? Are vintage sewing machines really better than modern?

Grab a cup of tea and let's find out.
