I walked in and fell in love. Definitely feels like I found my second home. I’ve been a professional sewist for 20 years. The energy inside of this place reminded me why it started in the first place.

Had a blast here with the ladies. Laughed a ton. They all had great attitudes and made me into a grand pirate for Gasparilla. I highly recommend for any costume needs. Or just go in and check out the cool stuff. This is a business worth supporting.
