Antique Sewing Machines

Welcome to Sewalot the number one site for antique sewing machines.

Most of us know the name Singer but few are aware of his amazing life story, his rags to riches journey from a little runaway to one of the richest men of his age. The story of Isaac Merritt Singer will blow your mind, his wives and lovers his castles and palaces all built on the back of one of the greatest inventions of the 19th century. For the first time the most complete story of a forgotten giant is brought to you by Alex Askaroff.

With a lifetimes experience in the sewing trade Alex Askaroff has built this site. It has become one of the premier sites for collectors and enthusiasts of antique sewing machines.

In the main site index there are dozens of pages listing information about some of the greatest pioneering names in early sewing machines from Isaac Singer and his many wives to Elias Howe (who Isaac scuffled with in the street and in court).

A good place to start is my Sewalot Homepage. Please browse and enjoy.

The Ward Arm & Platform see its amazing history.

by the turn of the 19th Century most towns had ironmongers and hardware stores selling sewing machines. This ad is from the Tarrant Street Ironmongers in Arundel West Sussex.

Good day Alex

Firstly, let me tell you, your sites were awesome. I have been enthralled
with all the history and information you have available. Many, many accolades to you.

Secondly as a Home Economics teacher sewing machines are my
passion. I am totally dumbstruck.... and I thought I knew so much about sewing
machines.

Well you have truly given me a new interest in these old beauties... Thank
you and kind regards

Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for your help. Whenever I need info on one of my machines, or one that I am planning on purchasing, I always go to your site first as you have so much info.

Hi Alex!
I bet you wish you had a dollar for every time someone says...
"you probably don't remember me," but you inspire me.
Life is good and you are a cool dude!
all my best,
