Cate's Sew Modern: Cloth and Community for Adventurous Sewists
Cate's Sew Modern threw open its door to the public on October 22, 2016. We spent our first 15 months in a small alley-like space in Madison, CT. Then -- in a collective scream of claustrophobia, we found an expensive foothold in Guilford, one sweet town closer to New Haven, that we now call home.
However, two years and $19,000 a year in electricity bills later, something much more to our liking -- just across the street -- finally opened up. About a dozen strong, enthusiastic and hard-working friends of our shop helped us make this move the easiest yet. We're excited! Classroom on the same floor. Great parking. A light at the exit. So, while we are getting way too good at moving, we hope to stay put now. You can find us at The Shops at Strawberry Hill, 1300 Boston Post Road, Guilford, CT.
Thank you for taking the time to read about us, and for helping make our community a reality. Customers state repeatedly that we are the best-curated collection of modern fabric for garments, bags, and quilting between Boston and New York City. But it's not just the visitors to our brick and mortar visitors that we dote upon; we get actively involved with Etsy customers in a number of ways, too. For instance, we FaceTime/Zoom/Google Meet with clients to make sure you get exactly what you need. Sometimes it's a color match. Sometimes it's building an entire kit for a quilt. It's fun for us to help solve creative challenges, whether remotely or in the store. Don't be shy; ask for help!
Lastly, if you find yourself near Route 95, we are right between exits 58 and 57. Please come visit us, and form your own conclusions! And check the class schedule on our website first at http://catessewmodern.com/classes. We may well have an activity going on that you will love!
Cheers,
The gang here at CSM.
