It's been about 20 months since Gizmo reopened at 626 E. 14th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C after being forced to leave its longtime First Avenue home of 32 years.
Happily, the sewing-supply-and-repair shop appears to be settling in just fine.
The iconic neon sign is glowing, the shelves are stocked with buttons, thread and notions, and owners Rosa Malmed and Hossein Amid are still helping keep the neighborhood stitched together.
As we've said before, it's nice to see one of the East Village's useful businesses not only survive but find a new home in the neighborhood.
Gizmo is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Good news. Gizmo was our go-to shop when it was on 1st Ave.
I'm so happy to see them thriving; they provide a service not many businesses can anymore—sewing machine repair. Hossain has repaired my 1930s Singer machine at least once.
