New Beginnings

Hello Everybody! I'm so excited to be taking over at what was formally Yellow Bird Fabrics. Again, if you missed the last two posts about the shop change, you can read about them here. Just as people are different, I will also be implementing some new changes at A Fashionable Stitch. So let's dive right in shall we?

First of all, there's a name change. We are now A Fashionable Stitch. We still carry the same great quality fabric, just a different name and new ownership.

Secondly, we are going to be making the transition to A Fashionable Stitch blog. What does this mean for you? It means that you might need to update your feed reader or email subscription to reflect the new change. Don't want to miss a post? Definitely subscribe to the Fashionable Stitch blog. For those of you signed up for the newsletter - no worries. You'll still be getting newsletters from us, we're just under a new name.

What if you've got a gift certificate from Yellow Bird Fabrics? Its still good at A Fashionable Stitch. Come in and do a little holiday shopping! And now we have our own gift certificates too. Hip Hip Hooray!

As of December 1st 2013, A Fashionable Stitch no longer accepts personal checks. However, we now accept American Express, where we didn't before. So you can now pay by either cash or credit card.

We have new shop hours. We are now open from 10am - 5pm, Monday thru Saturday. Closed Sundays.

There are no more ongoing discounts for local dressmakers, alterers, businesses, schools, friends, family, etc. College students, who show their student ID at the time of purchase, can receive a 20% discount off of full-priced items in the store. Discounted and sale items excluded.

To make up for this new/latest policy, we're going to be implementing a new system at the shop. Every month, we'll be having a Remnant Rush event where we'll be going through all the fabrics in the shop and filtering large remnant pieces into the sale area. Some bolts of fabric where we have 2 or less yards of fabric remaining will be filtered into the sale area and reduced to 40% off. This will happen on the last Friday and Saturday of every month, unless otherwise stated (just in case these days fall on holidays or for any other reason). We'll always carry a remnant/sale section in the shop, but on these particular days we'll be moving much more into that section than any other time of the month. This will be a great time to come in and also receive 10% off your total sale for those two days. It will be sensational, so make sure you come in early on the last Friday of the month and snag yourself some fabric treats. Please note that this offer is only good on merchandise in the shop. Special orders excluded. Remnant Rush sale can not be combined with any other discount. Want to stay updated on the sales? Definitely subscribe to the newsletter where all local fabric shop groupies are in the know.

You can now shop for a few things online. Everything that is online is also in store (though everything in the store is not all online). We've got a pretty amazing line-up of notions, supplies and tools in the online shop. This way, you can shop from the comfort of your pj's. Spiffy eh?

Now, I'm sure that I've forgotten a lot of stuff here, but we'll keep you updated as things come up. We have many many things planned! Make sure you join in on the excitement at A Fashionable Stitch! Stop into the shop too where we've made several changes and well, we even have new fabrics and notions. Yay!
