Sew With Me is the Shop in Hattiesburg, Mississippi where I was teaching last week.
I think it is such a cute name!
This shop is very customer oriented, which is the best kind of shop to visit.
There is pretty fabric and garment displays which inspire!
The Notions Wall is always a favorite of mine.
I am always looking for something I can't live without!
Something that will make sewing better or easier.
There are many "Ready To Smock" garments just waiting to be smocked, for those of us who love to do the fun stuff (Smocking) and be done with it.
Sew With Me has the Viking line of sewing machine which is one of the best available. And great for Heirloom Sewing, I might add.
This is Linda, the shop owner.
She is standing in front of a quilt she made.
I love this quilt. I have seen it made up before. Some of you might remember the SAGA Convention where a quilt like this was The Item in a Raffle Basket. Members in the St. Louis Smocking Guild made the quilt and gave it to be raffled away for the mere price of a Raffle Ticket ($1.00).
Many a ticket was stuffed into their Raffle Box!
This quilt block is using my embroidery design.
I had to show you this sign.
It is taped to the window, right next to the door. Linda got tired of telling people that "No, we do not do alterations. We specialize in Heirloom Sewing and Smocking".
Why does everyone think that if you sew, you will do alterations?
Personally, I hate alterations. There is nothing creative about it. My solution was to stack things on the dryer until the owner of the garment outgrew it. Problem solved. Now, I just ask if they need French Lace sewn onto their pants. If the answer is no, well there is the answer!
