Vintage Singer Storefronts


Richmond, Virginia - 1950s

As we like to say, we scour the Internet so you don't have to! We were interested to find as many vintage images of sewing machine stores as possible, but had no luck locating any brand but Singer.

If you have images of an old storefront, particularly a vintage image, we'd love to hear from you.

Clicking the photos provides a larger image in some cases. Enjoy!

We found a few more relevant images, even if not actual store fronts. Here we see an illustration depicting the interior of a Singer Sewing Center:



Though small to observe, this image depicts a store front in the 1940s:



Lastly, we found this photo noteworthy. Dating back to 1964, this Singer Sewing Center claims to be the oldest in California, located in Berkeley:

A sign on the door of the Berkeley store supposedly reads: "If it's raining, or too damn hot, this place is closed!"

What We Do at Still Stitching:


Our Film

  • We produced the only feature-length documentary on vintage sewing machines. Still Stitching has delighted thousands of viewers and urged the expansion of many collections. Many viewers tell us they watch it repeatedly. Ladies tell us that the film helped draw their husbands into their passion for vintage machines.

Custom Paint and Restoration

  • We are fortunate to assist many clients with procurement, high-end restoration, and custom painting of vintage sewing machines. While Singer 221 Featherweights are the most frequently painted model, we paint many other models such as the Singer 15, 66, 99, 201, and 301. We also refinish cabinets, treadle irons, and vintage sewing machine cases. Interested in our services? Contact us!
