an introduction of sorts
24 Jan
We have dropped a few hints along the way on our twitter accounts and talking to friends at craft shows, but now that we have our retail space we are ready to share the news! We are opening Vancouver, B.C’s first Sewing Lounge, Spool of Thread!
What is a Sewing Lounge, you ask?
Spool of Thread is a modern twist on making. Our retail store will provide the tools and the space you need to create your next sewing project. We will also have a wide selection of unique and hard to find fabrics.
Opening in Spring 2010, our store will have sewing machines available for pay-by-the-hour rental during our store hours. Along with the sewing machines, sewers will have access to large cutting tables, irons, dress forms and other sewing accessories.
The store’s Sewing Lounge will also be used for sewing workshops and classes with instruction from crafters and sewing experts.
Who are you guys?
Hello, we’re Lili and Henry. You’ve probably seen us around town before. On the weekends we can usually be found at the farmer’s market or at a local craft fair. When it’s nice out, we head to the seawall to take our little pooch Sugar for a walk. We enjoy finding hidden gems at thrift shops and find excuses to go thrifting throughout the Lower Mainland. Henry loves the color orange and Lili will be shocked if Spool of Thread ends up with a couch that isn’t orange.
We would love to meet you too. Sign up for our newsletter and we’ll send you an invitation to our grand opening party. We’d love it if you say hi.
