On February 7, 2023, I announced to our email subscriber list that I will be closing the store and website. As you can imagine, this is not a decision to come to and it’s one that has taken me a year to finally decide on. I’ve loved running this shop, and letting go is so hard, yet I feel a peace that it’s time for me pursue a new chapter in life. Stepping into a new adventure is both scary and frightening, knowing we have to let go of one thing to have another, and courage and faith are both necessary to move forward.

We have had a good run for six and a half years now, and we’re so grateful for the friends and connections we’ve made on this journey. I’ve learned so much, starting out as a stay-at-home mama with no experience running a business, to hiring team members, serving such an amazing community of women, to weathering all the uncertainties of a pandemic and the after effects. What a journey!

Thank you so much for your support the past years. We are so thankful for the privilege we’ve had to serve our wonderful Canadian sewists.
I don’t have the timeline all nailed down to exact details, as we have a lot of inventory, fixtures, furniture and supplies to sell off, but I will keep you updated.
