More gift ideas and holiday schedule

--gina  

Books are great, aren't they?  A good sewing book is both eye candy and a wonderful transporter of information all in one.  We have a great selection of books that fit that bill.  I currently don't have a space where I keep my sewing supplies out, ready for use, so sometimes sewing just doesn't happen because I don't want to take the time to unpack and repack everything before and after.  I can happily and easily pass an hour or two browsing through a sewing book, getting ideas, letting my imagination wander, mentally preparing for when I do have the time to unpack, repack and sew in between.

Our book selection includes a group of Portland-authored gems we're so proud to offer. In addition to thoughtful, instructional, project-based books, we carry some gorgeous ones that are heavier on the images and lighter on the instruction.  These are the books I can get lost in, slowly turning pages, taking in all the fine details and incredible designs. 

Thanks to lovely customer Michelle for letting us snap a shot of one of her holiday creations!  Looking to make a banner of your own and want a little assistance?  Pick up Autumn's banner pattern next time you're in.  What a special gift for any one, for any occassion.

Please make note of our holiday closure times.  We will close at 3 pm on Thursday, December 22nd and reopen Tuesday, December 27th at 10 am.  We will also be closed Sunday, January 1st.  We'll put up a few more reminders as we get closer.
