Don't forget that we have a great variety of
masks in stock for only $5.00. Fabrics
change often so why not do like I've done
and have a lot of different ones to match
your outfits.
We are still offering curbside but if you
want to come in, please know the shop is
disinfected as everyone leaves and
throughout the day for the safety of our
staff and our customers.
To stay in compliance with Governor Kemp's
Guidelines we are taking the following
precautions:
You are required to wear masks while in our
shop. If you do not have a mask, we are
selling them for only $5.00.
You are required to be at least 6 feet apart
from anyone in the shop at all times. We
have also put up plastic over cutting table
and check out station for your safety. You
can put your fabric on the counter, step
back and we will cut it for you. This has
worked well for everyone.
We disinfect throughout the day to keep
everyone as safe as possible.
We are still offering curb-side delivery for
your convenience if you are not comfortable
coming into the shop. You may call us at
678-355-6776 and let us know what you need,
provide us with your credit card information
and we will deliver your purchase to the
curb by your car.
If you want to come into the shop, know we
are constantly disinfecting everything to
the best of our ability. For everyone's
safety and well being, we are monitoring our
own health before coming to work and would
appreciate everyone doing the same before
coming into the shop.
Thanks for your understanding and patience
in these trying times. This too shall pass
and things will get back to normal. Be sure
to help your friends and neighbors.
