Spring is in the air, and with Easter arriving on April 5th, it’s the perfect time to start sewing your Sunday best 🌸✨

Our shop is fully stocked with beautiful 1850 period fabrics, including selections from the Wyndham Anthology and Marshall Dry Goods lines—perfect for bringing your historical wardrobe to life. We also carry a wide variety of Past Patterns to help you create an authentic and elegant look from start to finish.

And a little thank you to our local historians: town docents receive a 5% discount on all fabrics and patterns 💕
