Happy September! Did you know it's National Sewing Month? AND, it's our fifth anniversary this month, too! Celebrate 5 years of The Sewing Studio on September 24th from 7 - 10 at…our brand new third location! We're opening our newest doors on the eve of the party at 1225 Yonge Street (south of St. Clair Avenue). In the spirit of celebration, we're also having
a mega sewing machine sale. Email us asap if you want to catch one of these great deals (they're limited). Also ahead, our sewing classes online are coming together. Get ready for our new website extension (this newsletter is a sneak peek at the design), which will include AN ONLINE SEWING MAGAZINE! Yup, you heard us. Get your sewing and fashion fix monthly as of December 1st. (Don't worry, we'll keep reminding you.) Let's hear it for TSS!
