Founding CFS wasn’t exactly in the plans. It, like many things in life, is the result of a kismet series of events that evolved from moving to Kingston NY, wanting to teach my sewing patterns, stumbling across an ideal rental space, building out a sound team to work with and leaning in to sourcing fabrics with natural fibers that will elevate both garments and your sewing practice. This all coming together has been a labor of love; sometimes exhilarating, sometimes exhausting. We have been embraced by nearby locals, from experienced makers searching for high quality fabrics, to people who have dreamed of learning to sew a custom garment for themselves their whole lives. We are so pleased to now open our little world up and offer our fabric curation to you all too; our wider community that extends beyond just the walls of our small shop.
Thank you for being with us, we can’t wait to see what you make…
