Closed for the Holiday!

Hi Everyone! Sorry to be posting this at such a late date, but it's been a little crazy around here! Yellow Bird Fabrics will be closed for Thanksgiving. Also, as we transition ownership, we will remain closed for November 29 & 30. Thanks so much for your patience!

Come visit us Monday December 2, when we'll officially be opening our doors as A Fashionable Stitch. Happy Thanksgiving all!

A Season of Change and Thanksgiving

I am grateful for the last 4 1/2 years of my life and the opportunity to have owned Yellow Bird Fabrics.

I am grateful to all of my customers. Many of you have become great friends. You have inspired me and supported me and for that I cannot thank you enough.

To all of my co-workers throughout the years, Leena, Amber, Sunni, Elizabeth, Sheridan and Melia, you have all become my best friends. I have relied on you and you have never let me down. You have made this little fabric store dream a reality and I am forever in your debt.

I am thankful for a supportive family, parents and a husband that have helped me through it all. I am grateful for my son and a new baby that is on its way.

With all of this gratitude, I will admit, there is a little sadness. I have to leave this shop that we have built and grown to love so much behind.

But don't worry, you will not be losing a fabric store. You will be gaining a great friend. Sunni Standing, is taking over the business. You probably already know her, she has been teaching classes and working at the shop for a couple of years now. She is an incredibly talented seamstress and one of the kindest people I know. I feel very comfortable leaving the shop in her hands. I know she will continually grow the business in ways that I never could.

Thank you for your support. Thank you for loving Yellow Bird almost as much as I do. I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Bazaar Recap

Everyone who came out to the Bazaar, Thank You so much! We had a great time! There was fabric, sewing patterns, notions, fabric scraps, a rice crispie treat here and there, music! Yay! For those of you who didn't come, you missed a great time. But don't fret, because we will definitely be having another one. This was the sort of thing that we'll be doing again and again.

 

 

 

Many of you that came - and several of you that were unable to - gave some great suggestions for our next Bazaar. Thank you! We'll definitely do a few things differently for next time and we'll post suggestions and ideas for how to use up the stash or get rid of it and we'll also give you good and proper forewarning of the next Bazaar. Thanks a bunch ladies!

I for one came home with some fabric - bad Sunni, BAD! Funny thing is, I took some purple fabric to donate to the Bazaar and look, I came home with two pieces of purple. I must have a thing for purple right now. Ha. What did you all score?
