With Shop on Market, Sewing Classes Pick Up
The home to Sewnonymous on Lake Avenue is for sale, but that isn't stopping the owner from taking on more until it sells.
The owner of St. James business Sewnonymous is seeing more interest in sewing classes in the area, just as she's decided to sell the shop and take her classes on the road.
The owner, who only goes by her first name, Tia, said although the shop opens when clients call and schedule sewing class appointments, a boost in interest has her planning on opening the location for a set three days a week.
