Visited Ohio recently and made it a stop by a local cutie-pie of a creative space. They cover all the basics; sewing, knitting, jewelry. Being the sewist that I am, I made a beeline for the fabrics. Basically all cottons, more quilt weight, but a few fashion fabric worthy too. They have that young mom, dare say i.e. slightly hipster feel, but good of quality.

They staff was delightful and dedicated to sharing information about the classes available. A description from their site…”The studio area is equipped with cutting tables, ironing boards, scissors, tools and space, plus you can rent one of our computerized sewing machines, serger, or embroidery machine. Beginners can sign up for an orientation or a personal lesson. You can pay a la carte or sign up for a monthly membership. Sewers, knitters, and crafters of all stripes are welcome and the water is always hot and ready for a nice cup of tea to go with your crafting.”

The pattern selection featured mainly independent lines such as Sewaholic and Megan Nielsen. I bought a simple dress pattern (Megan Nielsen) that should be good for casual wear, but the price, $20, was hard to stomach, especially with $1.99 sales at JoAnn’s. But it’s always nice to try something new.

Definitely worth stopping by.
