We will close at 3:00 on Fridays December 24th and 25th and will be closed on Saturdays December 25th and January 1st. We will also be closed on January 4th.
It’s been a busy December and we are looking forward to a little time off with our families to enjoy the holidays. We certainly hope your days are happy and healthy and full of fun projects in the upcoming week!
Have you been watching the weather forecast? It’s looking cold and maybe snowy! If you see snow on the ground during our regular open hours we may well be closed so that our staff can stay safe and warm and have a little extra sewing time. Call the shop, (503)287-2658, or check back here for updates. Or stay in your pajamas and shop online!
