Linda Brewer who opened Brewer's Sewing Machines on 528 Dudley Road, Wolverhampton with her husband Roland in 1958
Linda celebrates 103rd birthday today (8th February) surrounded by family and friends.
Mrs Linda Brewer's daughter Kathleen and son-in-law Alan took over the business which moved to 458 Dudley Road in 1972 because of a road widening scheme. Linda has 4 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
She still takes a great interest in the shop and likes to be kept informed of what's new! She remembers way back when in the 1960's 1970's we supplied Janome Industrial Sewing Machines to local factories making anoraks and jackets.
This is Linda in the 70's in the current workshop.
These days as well as service and repairs we supply many schools, colleges and universities with new sewing machines and overlockers, as well as local craft, patchwork and quilting groups.

Debbie has years of experience is sewing and can turn her hand to dressmaking, soft furnishings, patchwork and quilting and also free machine embroidery. Julie, above, had never tried free machine before... and this was her first attempt.. hasn't she done well!
Janome Sewing Machines are available for you to use on the classes, which are running weekly, in the classroom above the shop on Dudley Road.
Kathleen, see here on a Janome event in the classroom last year, owns and runs the shop with her husband Alan. Kathleen has always been a sewer herself and what Alan doesn't know about the inside of a sewing machine, isn't worth knowing! Brewers Sewing Machine stocks a huge range of Janome sewing and overlock machines, and is happy to service and repair and make, model or age of machine.
