THANK YOU! We could not have done it without YOU! Sew What’s New celebrates its 17th Anniversary this month! Some of you have been faithful customers since our first little store on Madrid Avenue. Most of you have joined our SWN “Family” along the way. Each day we are grateful for your friendship and your business. Going to both stores is still a joy for me. This year the celebration will be all month and will include classes with SVP Educator
and Craftsy Teacher, Katrina Walker. It was fun to visit with her at convention and hear many of the ideas she has. Class sizes will be limited so get your reservations in early! Of course there are specials in most categories of products at SWN: machines, machine accessories, fabrics, threads, notions, books, patterns, embroidery designs. Because the discounts vary, you will have to come in to see. This will also give us a chance to visit and thank you personally for the trust you have given us over the years.
Thank You! We do our part for our communities—Come “SEWcialize” at these other local events:
