#15 - The Stitchery Studio
When The Stitchery shop and studio opened in 2017, their mission was to make modern, quality fabrics and knowledge accessible to everyone. It was a step further in a longer journey of creatively encouraging others.
Owner Jill's philosophy is simple; "Making is important. It uplifts us, it heals us, it brings joy and satisfaction in the work of our hands. Wearing your own me-made garments or showing off a me-made quilt is that feeling of satisfaction realized. What started as a dream for one person has become a community of many."
