Welcome

Welcome

This year I am planning to take our sewing and stitching adventures further. I am searching out more small independant producers for new products to that end.

I always like to have your ideas & comments, and absolutely I want to know if there are ever problems with my website or products, or your orders. This is still a an independant owned business (with occassional help) which means I can't keep up with all the places you can send my me messages, texts or calls, so lets keep it simple and just use email. Thanks for understanding :-)
