The tariffs that have been applied to Canada, impact all small based business’ and we need you now more than ever. As Canada’s relationship with the United States continues to change, we believe it is time for those of us who love sewing and fashion to stand together and support our Canadian sewing industry.
When you purchase fabric, buttons, patterns, sewing machines, scissors from a Canadian sewing business, you’re doing much more than purchasing what you need, you’re helping keep a Canadian business alive. You are supporting Canadian jobs, Canadian families, Canadian suppliers and you’re helping ensure that there will still be a sewing industry here for future generations.
We also want to make one thing clear: supporting Canadian sewing stores doesn’t necessarily mean shopping in person. Many wonderful Canadian fabric and sewing stores, including ours, have invested heavily in online shopping so that customers from around the world can support them from wherever they live.
We cannot survive simply because people love having us in their communities. We survive because people choose to spend their sewing dollars with us. After 25 years, we have learned that the future of independent Canadian sewing businesses depends on the support of the people who love what we do.
So, the next time you’re looking for fabric, buttons, patterns, scissors, sewing machines, or that perfect little something for your next project, please think Canadian first. Visit your local sewing store. Shop from a Canadian sewing business online, tell your friends where you shop. and most importantly, support these businesses financially by purchasing from them.
Support Canadian. Shop Canadian. Sew Canadian.
