SVP Worldwide is a brand woven into generations of creativity, family, and love. Almost everyone has a Singer story: a mom or grandmother sewing at the kitchen table, a dad patching a favorite jacket, or a family member making something special just for you.

For Stephen DeVries, of Eleven Productions, the goal was to capture how sewing isn’t just a skill — it’s a thread that runs through our lives, connecting us to the people and moments that matter most. From first stitches to heirloom quilts, Singer has been there for it all.
