Hey people, just a quick post to see if any Aussie shoe makers, or soon-to-be a shoemaker optimistic people are looking for a sewing machine?
Dennis, whom I purchased most of my machinery from has some other items to sell before he leaves Australia for good.
He has a Pfaff post machine (493? Same as mine), a flatbed heavy duty machine, or maybe 2 flatbeds, and a massive collection of shoe trade catalogues and magazines that he has gathered over the years as design references.
If you are interested, let me know and I can ask how much $ he wants for them… Best you get in before he leaves next week!





Hi!
I’m definitely interested! The only problem is I am from outside of Melbourne in Brisbane – Though I’m willing to pay/organise some sort of freighting etc if possible!
Thanks!!
Hi Bianca, I’ll email you some more info now.
Hi Steve,
I might know someone who’s interested in a good post machine. How much dosh is involved? Only problem is she (and I) are in Sydney.
Also, he doesn’t happen to have a blake stitcher does he?
And any hand tools?’
Next time I’m in Melbourne I’d love to look you guys up – I’m learning to make shoes here in Sydney.
Thanks,
Lucas
Hi Lucas, thanks for getting in touch. I’ll email you the contact info for the sewing machine, check your inbox.
I’ll also have to have a look around your site, always good to see what other people are doing!
