It’s been an incredible run for this wacky flexible-access sewing studio experiment, and now it’s time to move on to new adventures! The last day of sewing at our flagship studio on Pleasant Street in downtown Northampton will be April 21st. But hang on! You’ll be able to get your hands on our fabulous fabrics,…
Folks, it looks like there are some “For Lease” signs in our window! And you might be thinking, “What is going on?!” First things first: we’re not going out of business! We are going to be moving out of our lovely space at 271 Pleasant Street come May. What does that mean for you? We…
Something like, oh I don’t know, a year ago (!) a talented and inventive Beehive Member suggested hosting a pop-up designer and vintage clothing sale here. It was a great idea then, but as things go, it slipped off my radar. Then Carson and I went to New Zealand and I was amazed by the…
After a long (very, very long) journey, I made it back safely from the North and South Islands of New Zealand! Man, what a trip! What scenery! What sights! We are back on the horse and OPEN for these few days before Christmas – namely 12/21, 12/22, and 12/23 from 11AM to 6PM. Yes, when…

Way back when (well, 2012) when we first opened, we had these incredible comfy chairs in the front of the studio. People would sit, sew on buttons, read our books and magazines, take a little break from prepping/sewing/ironing/etc. Those great chairs are now in my living room, but fear not!
