Today is six months since Sassy Sewing went from being one of those ‘what if’ ideas passed through the ‘why not?’ stage and finally opened its doors as a proper grown-up business. In those 183 days we’ve made a whole load of new friends, inspired at least a dozen people to timidly cross the threshold and either take up or re-discover sewing, had 102 people come along to our workshops and built a little shop that’s brought some lovely comments and feedback from everyone who’s come to say hello.
Mr Sassy, who might be slightly too fascinated with numbers tells me that there are now more than three miles of fabric running through the sewing machines of Lincolnshire that used to be on our shelves. Along with a half dozen miles of thread, 34 miles of wool, almost 250 patterns and enough haberdashery to cover a small car (not sure how he worked that one out, but it keeps him occupied)
But more importantly, Sassy Sewing has become part of the, er, fabric of our lovely town and we look forward to every day meeting a whole load of new and old friends. So, thank you all for your support and kind words, thank you too for all your suggestions for future workshops. The latest list of workshops can be found elsewhere on this website, have a look and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see.
