I live in San Antonio, TX with my husband and all the vintage sewing machines and paraphernalia I have room for. We share the love of old and vintage things.

We appreciate the craftsmanship and built-to-last things from the days of old. My husband was born in Germany and lived there until he was a young adult. He is the inspiration for my name “The Nadelfrau” (needle woman.) German is part of my heritage, so I know my great-grandmother would approve. Like so many others she came to the US through Ellis Island when she was a young woman.
