NEW HAPPENINGS AT THE STORE

February 6th Art After Dark “Artist Showcase”

Central Coast Stitchworks

Melissa of Central Coast Stitchworks features vintage-inspired chainstitch embroidery. Each item—sweatshirts, hats, patches, and bandanas—is meticulously crafted on a hand-operated machine. Melissa brings a beautiful blend of retro charm and modern craft to everything she makes. Not only are her embroidered pieces cute, but they’re also durable, timeless, and made to last!

Join us during Art After Dark to see her craft in action. Melissa will be doing live stitching on bandanas, hair bows, and patches.
