(WEST ALLIS) - In an era where things aren't built to last like they used to a West Allis repair shop is making sure what's old becomes new again. The shelves of Bill Blenkinsop’s sewing repair shop are filled with decades old machines that he hopes to keep running for decades to come.
Bill is the owner and sole proprietor of Bill Blenkinsop sewing and repair. In a time when more and more things are being made to simply be replaced Bill is making sure they live on.
