Visit
The Sewing Machine Orphanage is a working site of preservation, documentation, restoration, education, and study. Visits are welcome by appointment.
Location
The Sewing Machine Orphanage is located in Devon, Alberta, Canada.
Specific directions are provided once a visit is arranged.
Appointments
Visits may include viewing machines in care, discussing donation or adoption, or learning about documentation and stewardship practices.
Because this is an active preservation space rather than a public gallery, appointments ensure that both visitors and machines receive appropriate attention.
Contact
If you have a sewing machine to discuss, a question about stewardship, or an interest in visiting, please reach out.
Care First
The Sewing Machine Orphanage prioritizes the well-being of the machines entrusted to it. Not all machines are always accessible, and not all requests result in placement or acceptance.
This care-first approach ensures that stewardship remains central to everything we do.
