Covid Mask Making Supplies Update

Hello to all of our friends out there!
We have a lot to say and no time to type it up. Dawn and I created a little information video about what we have and how we're pulling it all off. Please take care and enjoy the show!
Here's a link to our FIRST EVER post to YouTube. Hope it works for you!

Keep Calm and Mask On!

Southern Divorce

 A judge was interviewing a Georgia woman regarding her pending divorce and asks, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"
"About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"
"It is made of concrete, brick, and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "what are your relations like?"
"I have an aunt and uncle and 12 cousins living here in town, as well as my husband's parents."

The judge took a deep breath and asked,
 
"Do you have a real grudge?"
"No, we have a two-car carport and have never really needed one cuz we don't have a car."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music - all that hip hop and rap trap -but we can't seem to do anything about it."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"
"Yes, he gets up every morning before I do and makes the coffee."

The judge asked, "Is your husband a nagger?"
"Oh, hell no, he's as white as you and me!"

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why in hell do you want a divorce?
"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce, my husband does.
The damn fool says he can't communicate with me."

Elastic & Bias Binding Has Arrived!

Back to top
elasticWe may be closed...but we haven't been idle!
For those of you that are helping by sewing masks for those in need in response to Covid 19, you know that 1/4" elastic has been in short supply.
We've got your back!!
Dawn has some unusual sources in manufacturing and finally received our first order of over 1,200 yards of elastic and more is on it's way.
WHITE elastic is in short supply but there is plenty of BLACK. We are spooling into 10 yard bundles for $5. That's .50 per yard and slightly less than our normal price. We plan to keep it this price for as long as it is in need as long as our suppliers can do the same.
As for cotton bias binding -- we have several rolls and several colors to choose from. We will be working over the next day or so to get it posted on the website (it is not yet available to purchase online at the time of this update). The price and yardage will be the same as the elastic. 10 yards bundles of one color for $5,  and it will be a continuous piece. We just want to keep it simple.
We've now got a plan for how you can purchase, receive / pick up these much needed supplies.
ONLINE ORDER: First for those of you that may be out of the area that want to do your part...it's easy just click the link below and it will take you right to the shopping page on our website where you can order and we will ship it right out!  **** a NOTE about Shipping**** Our existing website has shipping set as USPS Priority flat rate $8.50. We are not having "quick" success at altering that so for now we have found a workaround. You will be charged the $8.50 shipping at the time of your online checkout. Once your order is packaged/weighed we will refund via Paypal the shipping $ difference. Example, today I sent 20 yards in an envelope for $1.40, here in CA. At this critical time every penny counts and we are doing our best to save you as much as possible for your generous gift of service for your fellow man! We need to stick together!

SHOP PICK-UP:  Dawn will be at the shop by herself opening the shop for limited hours to come and purchase on-site. And by pick up at the shop we mean you will be outside at the door. Sorry but we are not allowing anyone to enter the shop. Just "order" and pick up from the door. Dawn has severe Asthma and has been struggling with her lungs for several months now so we are not taking any chances. She will be there 12 noon-4pm. Tuesday-Friday each week.
Please, if possible, we prefer you to pay in cash or check to help keep our cost down.
Also if you see others doing the same pick-up service at the shop please stay in your car and follow social distancing. Please if you have a mask for yourself, wear it to the shop and we will have disposable gloves available on-site for interaction. Remember Dawn will be alone so please be patient with your customer service expectations. She will be doing her best to take care of herself and your needs.
Again you will not be able to come in to the store to browse for fabrics for your next project. Sorry but this is not possible at this time.
If you need to contact us, the best way to reach us is to call or leave a brief voice mail message on the shop answering machine. We will check these frequently and get back to you as soon as possible. The shop number is (805) 693-0174.
Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones during this stressful and frightening time.
