Patterns, Fabrics, Sewing Supplies
The GoofingOff story begins with a bag of vintage 1960's sewing patterns....some cut and pre-loved, some unfolded and never used; each one beautiful. There's something magical about a sewing pattern; how a bit of cloth, needles, thread, and imagination can make a dream come true. Something special happens when a pattern becomes a bit of make believe, a child's favorite play toy, or a wedding gown. I eagerly wait to see pictures of customers creations and am thrilled to know I had a part, albeit small one, in making their dream come true.
I try to have tiny needle books and needles to add to all orders. Early in the pandemic it was almost impossible to buy needles since everyone was home and trying to sew masks. I thought what would someone do to finish a project without a needle? so I bought needles and felt and started making tiny needle books. Why felt? Felt keeps the needles from rusting.
I've been doing it ever since.
There's just enough room to embroider a flower on the book to dress it up. Let me know if you want a few embroidery stitch patterns. I am a member of the Embroiderer's Guild of America and love to share the knowledge.
I want my customers to create the most incredible items they envision...and they need needles to do that.
