The Bobbin's September Newsletter 2010
Welcome
to September Crafty Friends,
The heat wave has subsided bringing forth chilly nights, changing
leaves and Mama's favorite time, "Back-to-School". The September calendar is live with
sustainably crafty fun for everyone! Unravel the mysteries of the
upper/lower threading systems, learn to draft a pattern of your
measurements and stitch up a sweet A-Line Skirt, or gab it up in
the Craft Lounge while stitching up your very own SadBoy doll. We
keep our class sizes small, so be sure to save your spot
early.
Call 802-862-7417 or email info@thebobbin.com to register for classes,
workshops, private lessons, alterations, or custom design
services.

Spotlight on Local Business: Smitty's Sewing Machine Service
Robert "Smitty" Smith of Essex Junction, Vermont
We Mamas have known Smitty since The Bobbin Sew Bar + Craft Lounge was in it's infancy. 
Smitty learned to sew and repair machines while working for The House of Sewing in Essex, Vermont for 25 years. When The House of Sewing closed their doors, five years ago, Smitty's entrepreneurial spirit took over. With the help of his wife, Penny, the couple opened shop at 3 Maple Street (Suite 1) in the 5 corners of Essex Junction, Vermont. 802-878-4545
Smitty's nimble fingers and vast knowledge of vintage sewing machine repair has been god-send for the Mamas. Not only have we purchased vintage and refabricated machines from Smitty, we also rely on him exclusively to keep all the ladies at our Sew Bar tuned up and running happy
In addition to selling vintage machines, Smitty also sells a wide variety of "high performance, high quality" NECCHI sewing machines and is home to the incredible NECCHI 4825!
"Come visit the shop for a one-on-one demo!" -Bob "Smitty" Smith
