Greetings from your friends at Sew Fabulous


Hello From Sew Fabulous,

WHAT'S HAPPENING

It's great to be back in Michigan. As you may know, I was on vacation the last 2 weeks and lots has happened in the store since I was away. I have to send out a big "Thank You" to my staff who worked hard while I played.

1) My application for Pfaff has been approved and my opening order is in process. Since I haven't dealt with SVP before, I'm not sure what the turn around time will be for machines and accessories, but I'll keep you updated as things start to arrive.

2) Fabric - my staff was busy taking in new fabric including 100 shades of Shadow Blush, the whole line of Hexies from Tula Pink, and a bunch more yet to be checked in. I just love Scarlet Stitches from Henry Glass!
