I always wanted to run my own little sewing shop. then one day I got this phone call from a lady that saw my alterations add in the paper. she was wanting to retire and asked me if I wanted to buy her business. we talked for a few minutes and I made an appointment to meet with her.
After I met her I decided to go ahead and buy her business and start my own sewing and alteration business.
I then made my business plan, since I had been working out of my home I knew I would need more material, thread and other items. I also had to look for a serger with differential feed.
On September 13 2008 with the help of my son Adam and his friend Michael we moved into the shop and started getting it ready for opening day!
Not only did I have a sewing business I also added crafts to the store and also sewing classes.
My daughter Desiree also helped me and also learned how to interact with other people.
I make sure that everything I make is high quality and comes from a pet free and smoke free shop.
I have been opened now for over a year and I am working and making money doing what I love
My grandmother also was a seamstress and she used to make all kinds of things. I remember her making my sister and I dresses and out fits when we were little girls.
it is a sad thing that schools have to drop sewing classes. I think everyone needs to learn how to sew. making your own clothes is a real good feeling.
