The median project continues. We will be open our normal hours, Monday-Saturday, 9:00-6:00. Two-hour parking limits on all surrounding streets has been lifted during the project. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Please call us if you are bringing in a machine for service - as always, we are more than happy to come out and bring it in for you.

UFO CHALLENGE

We have some good news for those of you who are working so hard on your projects! Due to our crazy schedule here at the store, we are going to have to postpone our big finale until Saturday, November 17th. This means you have an extra month to get all those projects done!

Are you interested in taking an advanced paper piecing class from Judy Bryan? This series of classes will begin in January, and previous paper piecing experience is required. We currently have four kits available in this colorway. Call now to reserve your spot in class, and to reserve your kit. We can order more of this fabric for you, or can help you pick your own if so desired.

WeAllSew National Sewing Month Challenge: Week 4

Finish or Re-Purpose Your UFO’s

Let’s face it, if you love to sew, you are sure to have at least one UFO (unfinished object) in your sewing space! We challenge you to finish at least one of your UFO’s, either by repurposing it into something new, or finally finishing something you started a long time ago. Upload photos and a short description in a post to our Community Section “National Sewing Month Challenge 2018” section by Sunday, September 30, and you’ll be entered in our contest for a chance to win this week’s prize. Fans who enter all four of our weekly challenges will automatically be entered for a chance to win our grand prize!
