one of Alex's stories The Sewalot site is run by Alex Askaroff. The enterprise was founded on service, quality and genuine enthusiasm for sewing machines. Alex is a long term member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen. Alex grew up in the sewing industry and as a teenager undertook a four- year engineering course, qualifying in 1976, yeah he's no spring chicken. After qualifying he was trained by further experts from Jaeger and the sewing trade then spent 10 years on the factory floor at the family firm before founding his own business. Alex has around 35,000 customers in his area from schools to businesses, factories to farms, hotels to hospitals, just about anywhere there are sewing machines, from boot patchers to sail makers, plus all those happy quilters and patchworkers. One of Alex's hobbies has always been collecting early sewing machines after trying to rescue 6 on a skip as a child. He now owns one of the finest collections of early 19th century machines. Alex has had work published across the world from Australia to America and is considered one of the few experts in early pioneering machines and their inventors. This is the great bit. Through popular request (okay pestering over many years) many of Alex's most popular stories have been put together into a trilogy of sewing books. They are much in the same theme as James Herriot on his travels around the Yorkshire Dales. They have sold in there thousands all over the world. Stunning reviews Ready to have a laugh?
