All Done

...moving OUT, that is. We don't have a destination for our new location yet!

The fabrics and other merchandise were all safely transported on Saturday, and shelving and fixtures on Sunday. Then the tear-down of the unwanted shelves and fixtures began. That is time-consuming! There was a big ugly pile of scrap lumber in here until just now...Roy hauled it all to the recycling place (they burn it to generate power, so it's not just going to a landfill someplace).

Then vaccuuming out the sawdust and making sure we haven't left anything behind...

Whew. I believe some rest is in order.

Cleared out!

You won't believe this, but thanks to a few very supportive friends who don't need sleep, there is not one fabric that has not been taken to storage as of 20 hours since we closed here at Georgetown Park!

Thank you for being our customer!

Thanks for always enjoying our selection of fabrics, buttons, and trims, and for making the Georgetown store closing sale a thoroughly enjoyable experience for us and for your fellow customers!

We're outta here, check back often for updates.

And HAPPY SEWING in the meantime!

Check out this beading class

This is Aga Kruk's web page. Aga is the wonderful beader/teacher/salesperson who works for Joy of Beading, our former neighbor here at the mall.

You can take classes at Joy of Beading, or sign up for online classes. We have shared many customers, and today one of the customers brought a magnificent citrine necklace she had created. Of course she had to find fabric to make a matching outfit!

Last call for everything on the selling floor!

Fair warning--as you may know, we received a fabric shipment (very pretty/sophisticated cotton prints) on Friday, but we are not going to order or re-order anything else for the Georgetown location since the move is only days away. Hurry for best selections!

Sewing womb

One of the best "freudian slips" of the past month was a customer referring to her sewing room as her "sewing womb."

What would you change about your sewing area if you had a chance? My wish would be for more natural light and really just more time to sew a project from start to finish instead of in fits and starts!

Where did they go?

Some of our neighbors here at the mall have relocated, some are in the process, and some have not decided when or where they will relocate. As we get word, we will post some contact information here.

As of today,

Phoenix Bridal may relocate to Silver Spring, Maryland.

Joy of Beading has relocated to Arlington (5903 Lee Highway, near Harrison Street). It's pretty accessible by bus from Rosslyn.

Fornash is in the process of relocating to Ballston Common Mall, in Arlington.

Comfort One Shoes is now open at 1329 Wisconsin Ave. NW. Just a few steps from Georgetown Park!

Galerie des Parfums has not announced a new location yet. Here's their Facebook page.

Total Party is in the process of relocating to the Ballston Common Mall.

Rush Hour Printing expects to relocate to Ballston Common Mall.

Meridian Health and Relaxation has moved to the 1600 block of Wisconsin Ave.

We haven't decided where to relocate, ourselves, but keep watching our web page for any news.

What's that hat for?

One of our customers let us know that he was buying the buckram hat forms for beekeeping hats! It holds the beekeeping veil away from his face, provides ventilation, and the bees cannot sting through the buckram. Our neighbor keeps bees too...little tiny bees that love basil plants and are not at all aggressive. We love hearing stories like this.
