Has someone sent up a “Piggy” signal?
It seems as if someone has lit a “bat signal” (perhaps a Piggy Signal?) over the shop, because more and more sewists and yarn-crafters are coming in each week. Thank you all for telling your friends, colleagues and crafting groups about us! Over 1,200 yards of fabric and 250 skeins of yarn have found new homes in the 8 weeks since we opened our doors. It seems our crazy idea of providing a place for creative folks to de-clutter, while at the same time reducing material costs for fabric and yarn enthusiasts…wasn’t so crazy after all!
