Holiday Shopping

Fabric shops are a different sort of store. Our Holiday business is heavy long before the regular rush and then slows way down when people are out shopping at places like Target. Maybe customers think they can't buy their non-sewing sister a gift at a place called "Sew Unique" or maybe husbands feel out of their depth shopping for the love-of-their-life at a sewing store. Maybe you're creative side is itching for a little fabric shopping but you just don't have the time...

We can solve all those problems. Today I wanted to highlight just a few of the many things we offer in our store that aren't necessarily sewing related along with some more socking stuffer ideas. We're a local business and we love and believe in local business so if there is a local product that we love it's our pleasure to share it with you and carry it in our store even if it's not necessarily for your needle.

We carry a wide variety of candles from Swan Creek Candle Co. They smell so good that when we come into the store the following day the store still smells delightful. They last a long time too. Right now we're loving these two holiday scents.



We just started carrying some of Siesta Silver Jewelry. The pictures did not turn out well because the rings are so shiny (truly not even close to doing them justice) we have rings, bracelets and charms. One of the styles is called "Quilt Block" and the company's headquarters are in Vicksburg Michigan.


New in the shop is Glide thread. This polyester thread won't fade and is perfect for machine embroidery and long arm quilting. A couple of these would be perfect in a sewing enthusiasts stocking.


This display is full of small items. Fabric markers specialty pens, small rotary cutters swatches of silk AND some of the best hand lotion around, udderly smooth hand cream
Our vintage holiday tree is filled with cute stocking stuffers: buttons, thread snips, charms, silk threads...

How about some fun wool fibers to embellish projects?

Very nice new seam rippers. These are very sturdy and have a great handle that is the perfect size and won't lead to hand cramping like some others can.

As you can see we carry a wide array of gifts for the sewing and non-sewing person in your life.

I also wanted to highlight our Holiday hours. We'll be open Christmas Eve until 12:00 and closed the 25th, 26th and 27th. We'll be open New Year's Eve until noon and then closed January 1st. 

I hope to see you soon!
Happy Sewing
Love,
Jessie and Sue
