She sold me the ribbon for a great price and while we were talking, I glanced around her store and realized that I don’t shop my main street vendors as often as I should. And that my hometown main street can probably meet many of my creative needs. Best of all, Just Make It Sew offers classes, too – so even if you’re not well-versed in the art of sewing, you can be. It’s a great store.
Thanks to JoAnn and her shop, I was able to finish a craft without handing over my money to yet another big box store. And that is what “neighborhood creative” is all about.
