Sew Purty Workshops | Ray Elkins

White Still Stitching offers educational presentations in the mid-Atlantic region, ours are focused on the history and evolution of vintage machines and the industries associated with them. David Werther at Quilter's Connection (above) offers classes on a more regional basis. Meanwhile, Ray Elkins at Sew Purty Workshops offers traveling workshops throughout the U.S. that are fun, hands-on and in-depth restoration experiences for vintage sewing machine enthusiasts at any skill level.

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.

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!
