Best Christmas Present ever!

grateful 

I am being a bit boastful but I just have to say I have been given the best Christmas present ever!

My staff, led by Coral, has done all my inventory early so Bill and I can have time off at Christmas from the 25th of December to January 2nd! This has never happened and I am not sure if I will know how to behave. I can guarantee that there will be some serious sewing time, sleep time and lots of totally wrong foods. 

I am so incredibly lucky to have staff that has given me the most precious gift of all for a shop owner.....Time! Thank you does not seem like enough but I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if I win the lottery we are all going to the fabric warehouses with trucks!

Sew Days in 2020

sad emoji 

Due to rising costs our cost of Sew Days will be going up in January to $10 per person.

I was so sad to have to do this but it is a tough market out there right now. Just wanted to give a bit of a heads up for all the Friday sew girls.

Your $10 gives you the use of our room, irons, Best Press spray, advice when one of us is available and some great social time. Thank you for your understanding.
