Vivo Sew-It-Yourself Sewing Machine

Introducing the Vivo Create and Repair machine!

As the popularity of Do-It-Yourself, Sew-It-Yourself, upcycling and personalizing items continues to increase, this machine makes it easy to add personal touches to all your favorite things.  It’s small, compact and affordable (less than $80 at Walmart stores nationwide), so it is ideal for sewers and crafters of all skill levels. 

This machine is the first from SINGER that is designed with the non-sewer in mind to be a useful tool anyone can use for completing projects around the house. 

Singer Sewing Company announced on August 26, 2013 the launch of the Vivo by SINGER® Create and Repair Machine. This machine meets consumer demand for practicality and convenience by taking the trouble out of fixing minor tears, repairing or altering clothing and adding fun, creative embellishments to personal fashion and home décor items.

“While SINGER® is known for sewing, we designed the Vivo with the non-sewer in mind as a handy household tool everyone can use,” said Katrina Helmkamp, CEO of SVP Worldwide, producer of the SINGER® brand. “With this machine, sprucing up your living space, taking on do-it-yourself projects, and completing basic household repairs is now quicker and easier than ever before.”

Simple to use, carry and store, the Vivo by SINGER® Create and Repair Machine weighs only 7.2 pounds and can be conveniently used anywhere in the house. It enables users to effortlessly fix small tears, join pieces of fabric together, and hem and patch garments at the touch of a button. It also is ideal for attaching decorative trim and adding stylish appliqué details to garments or accessories.

The Vivo™ by SINGER® Create and Repair Machine retails for under $80 and is available at Walmart stores nationwide and Walmart.com. For more information, please visit www.singerco.com.
