SewGreen@Rochester Is Moving!

Surprise, surprise! We've outgrown our lovely space on Arnett Boulevard. And we've had an offer we can't refuse. We are moving to 438 West Main Street in Rochester's Susan B. Anthony neighborhood and 14608 zip code.

 

Our new space is next to a major bus route stop, and will be bigger, closer to I490 exits, and with better accessibility than our current address. And very soon it will be packed with all the crafty goodness we can bear and you'll love to see. We will be open on Arnett right through Saturday, October 29, and on Monday morning, November 7, we will throw open our West Main door. We will have a Grand Re-Opening Party shortly after, on Saturday, November 12.

In the meantime, we have painting to do, subflooring to cover, and many, many items to transport from one location to another. We could use your help! If you know someone who cleans, or paints, or does flooring, or has a big van that would be willing to support our non-profit enterprise by donating their time, labor and materials, or providing them far below-cost, please let us know! We have the new space to prepare for all of you, and the old space to lovingly empty and clean. You can reach us at info@sewgreenrochester.org

or 585-328-2642. Thank you! 

 

Exciting times ahead! Stay tuned!

Our new location on the corner of West Main and Canal Streets is pictured below, facing the shop while traveling west on West Main (lefthand photo), and while traveling east on West Main (righthand photo).

Stop by the shop this Saturday (September 24) and next (October 1), and check out the sewing machines we have for sale. We have some excellent machines ready to sew, a few of which are pictured above and below. They are at rock-bottom prices - most at $25 or less. Help us clear out some of our inventory before our big move, and add one of these to your fleet of sewing machines!

And help us use up some of our bright fleeces, and wintry warm yarns while you prepare yourself, or someone you love for our Rochester winter.

Every Saturday is Scrappy Saturday! Our small scrappy bags stuffed with scraps and rolls of fabric and/or unmarked balls of yarn are only $1 all day (regularly $3 on weekdays). Grocery-sized totes stuffed full are only $5 (regularly $10). Stop by and fill a bag this Saturday, and every Saturday!

Surprise Saturday Specials!

Do you love surprises? The good ones? We do. And we've got good surprises for you! Every Saturday at our store, shoppers are treated to a surprise special. It might be one free book with every purchase. It might be a free small scrappy bag. It might be 5 free sewing patterns, or a free zipper, or a free pair of knitting needles. We don't know. It's a surprise! Come, shop and see!
