Sewing Machine Service

Product Details

Has your sewing baby stopped stitching properly? Skipping stitches, timing out, or just in need of a good tune-up and deep clean?

Look no further! We offer a fast turnaround and an easy drop-off location in Gardens.
Please note: The service rate excludes any parts or additional labour for repairs. We will always provide a quote before carrying out extra work.

Payment Terms: 50% deposit on booking, balance due on collection.

💬 We love vintage machines! But just like vintage cars, they sometimes need more than a polish. Please read below so you know exactly what to expect.

SERVICE WARRANTY (applies to all machines)

Labour Warranty
All workmanship is guaranteed for 30 days from the date of collection. If any issue arises that is directly related to the labour we carried out, we will attend to it at no additional labour charge.

Parts

Replacement parts are supplied according to availability and carry their own manufacturer or supplier warranty (where applicable). We cannot guarantee the longevity of existing or original parts.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER FOR OLDER / UNUSED MACHINES

Many vintage or older machines — especially those that have been standing unused for years — may develop latent faults that only show up after cleaning and once the machine is put back into regular use. These issues are not always visible at first and often reveal themselves only when the motor runs and the machine heats up.

Common age-related issues include:

Hardened or congealed lubricants causing stiffness or seizure
Worn or stuck motor brushes
Failing capacitors (causing hissing, sparking, or self-running)
Cracked belts, perished rubber parts, or weak springs
Degraded wiring insulation or other electrical faults

Please note:

A standard “service and tune-up” is intended for machines in fair working order.
If your machine has been unused for a long time, it may require a full deep clean, degrease, re-lubrication, and/or reconditioning of the motor and drive system. This is more involved — and more costly — than a normal service.
Any additional work or parts required will be quoted separately once the technician has assessed the condition of your machine.

ABOUT US

Founder

ABOUT US

The Sew Much Fun Studio was founded in 2012 as a place to slow down, work with your hands, and reconnect with creativity in a meaningful way.

We are a private needle arts atelier and creative club, offering carefully curated making experiences for adults who value quality, focus, and time spent doing something real.

In a world that feels increasingly fast, abstract, and disconnected, we believe that making things by hand matters. Sewing is not just a skill , it’s a way to think, to process, and to feel grounded. For many people, it becomes therapy in disguise: quiet, absorbing, and deeply satisfying.

Our Way of Working

We are not a school or an academy.There are no exams, certificates, or formal structures to navigate.

Instead, we offer immersive, small-group experiences where people learn by doing, at their own pace, in a calm and well-equipped studio. The emphasis is on process, attention, and craftsmanship - not rushing, not proving, not performing.

This is a space for serious hobbying: for people who are curious, committed, and interested in developing real skills without pressure or pretence.

What You’ll Find Here

The studio is designed as a welcoming, focused environment where people can make, experiment, and connect. You’ll find professional tools, thoughtful guidance, and a club-like atmosphere that encourages concentration as well as conversation.

Our experiences range from beginner-friendly making sessions to more advanced garment-focused pathways, alongside SewAlongs, studio access, and special workshops. Everything is shaped to feel practical, absorbing, and genuinely rewarding.

We also encourage a more considered relationship with clothing and textiles - valuing repair, longevity, and things made with care over speed and disposability.
