Neil and I spent the holiday weekend putting up new shelves again and rearanging the shop. We now have more cutting table space too which hopefully will help out when the shop is busy.  New things are coming in all the time.  14 Inch Zippers are in and soon we will have a fun collection of buttons for you to choose from.  Last week some really cute sewing charms from the PinPeddlers arrived.  You can hang the charms on the pewter pins that we sell and we also have spacer beads to add another fun element. Hope you will stop by Sewn with Luv and take a look.
