great store!
 
I have always liked my All Brands sewing store, for sewing machines, classes, etc.
There are great classes, and people come in and can make different things for people or dogs.
They have days when you can make bags for women's shelters, blankets for dogs at shelters,
now a new one I have not heard of. Baby gowns, for infants that have died at MCV hospital.
I have never thought about this, but there there is a need for this. Think of a home made gown for
the little ones, it touched my heart so. I had one grandchild born at mvc but went straight to be with the
Lord. I had made him a blanket - I cut the blanket small enough and sewed the edges they were able to fit it
in the casket. Just wanted to share, how nice a store or people can be. They also are really helping me to learn
to put embroidery in my new machine, any trouble you have you make an appointment they sit you down and
work with you. I have been going here for 5 yrs. now. Gayla and Eric own the shop. It is so nice to have great
people in this world.

Sounds like a wonderful store with very caring owners.

So true. It's so heart-warming to know that people do care.

I do let them know, every time I go. They also plan trips one to 2 times a year, they get a bus and the lady's go for the day, quilt shows, anf fabric shopping stores. It is great!

I have had a few people ask about AB Sew & Vac. It is in Richmond, VA W. Broad street. 804-270-2113
Gayla & Eric are the owners. They have been really growing, they just made their class room 3x larger and
added 2 bathrooms. It looks small from the front, but it is not. Make sure to see the class room behind the
sewing machine and store part.
