In 1972 my father retired from the Singer Sewing Company and started Little Irene's Sewing Center. Named after my sister and a new direction in our family's life, we all benefited from the business in so many ways I can't describe.
This year marks 23 years since my father's passing and I decided to honor him with re-naming the Singer Repair Center to Little Irene's Sewing Center. My sister is excited to have her name on the business again. I began working for my dad in 1975 and I have always had the sewing business beside me, even when I ventured into other businesses.
In the past 48 years I have been a Singer Dealer, Janome Dealer, Brother Dealer, Juki Dealer BabyLock Dealer and an Elna Dealer!
I am fully trained in any household or commercial machine, including embroidery machines.
I hold degrees in Aerospace Engineering, Communications, Information Technology and doctoral studies in Robotics with Artificial Intelligence.

Although sewing is the family business I followed many different directions in life and returned to the sewing business after every failure. I never stop trying to follow my dreams, which was my guiding attribute influenced by my parents. Our family business over the last 50+ years has been an independent dealership for Singer, Brother, BabyLock, Bernina, Elna, Janome (New Home), Husquvarna (Viking), Juki, Simplicity, and Euro-Pro. I am certified by each of these brands to repair any of their products and taught many service technicians over my 48 years in the business. If you break it I can fix it!
I also service any type of commercial machine including multi-needle and multi-head embroidery machines.
Antique sewing machine re-engineered for custom applications.
I service any quilting machine or I can design and build one for you from scratch!
