Covid-19 Update We have reviewed the latest report detailing the new COVID-19 updates, and consulted businesses with similar operations. Within the current regulations, we are not considered high risk, and are allowed to continue to run our small workshops and keep our retail store open. "Students, teachers or instructors at a school or post- secondary educational institution when engaged in educational activities; individuals attending regularly scheduled classes or practic...es in a recreation centre, pool or fitness facility; customers in a mall or retail establishment when engaged in shopping activities or seeking services" - (Reference page 3, #8) We have been taking extra precautions since reopening last July and will continue to update our procedures as necessary. We require masks for all persons entering our shop or studio. Side note - a scarf is not a mask! One NEW ASK for those attending workshops is for students to please bring their own pins/wonder clips , needles and small scissors/snips as these are the most difficult to clean. You are of course welcome to bring any other tools that you already have, but we will have everything else you need clean and ready to use! We are doing everything we can to keep our community and team safe both in-store and while we are at home. Please remember that you can have your order brought straight to your door by Geazone or choose store pick-up and we can bring your order out to your car! Thank you for your continued support and kindness. Safe Stitching!

Happy Women's Entrepreneurship Day! Thanks to my supporters at #womensenterprisecentre #futurpreneur, our incredible sewing community, my ma and pa and all the incredible #womeninbusiness who have paved the road for someone like me to follow their dreams! #women #girlboss #entrepreneur #womensentrepreneurshipday #nobusinesslikesewbusiness #youcandoit #yyj #Victoriabc #canadianbusiness #bcbusiness #futurpreneurcanada
