I need to be away on Friday, but I hope you'll stop by soon! All resale fabrics and notions are 50% off (fabric's $2/yard or less), and new merch is 30% off. This includes indie patterns, Robert Kaufman Essex linen and Ventana twill, some lightweight cottons and cotton/linen prints perfect for summer sewing. The free scrap bins are also reloaded - come replenish your craft stash!

This alum and parent is grateful to the student protesters for bringing about this change. Such incredibly poor judgment to let it go on this long.

Last Classes til fall! Zipper Pouch class next Tuesday, a 4-part intro class in May, and a machine maintenance class June 8th.

**Shop News:** When I moved to the larger retail space last year, I imagined that I could balance my primary job, home life, and do enough with Chrysalis to keep my head above water while I figured out what it could be. That has not proven to be the case, especially after my partner and I bought and gutted an old farmhouse at a time when contractors are in short supply. I’m simply spread too thin. So unless someone out there wants to either join me as a partner or take over*, I’m going on hiatus when my current lease expires at the end of June. I’ll still have the online shop, with free local pick-up. 

I am immensely grateful for the support and enthusiasm that I received from so many fellow makers! The best part of this by far was meeting you and building community. I intend to keep doing that part, just without the overhead. Think fabric swaps, mending clinics, and social sewing get-togethers. 

I’m offering a few more classes before we pack up in mid-June, and will be marking down the inventory so I have less to move/store - look for progressive discounts starting with 25% storewide now, and come in soon for the best selection!
