She talks about becoming a fashion designer and opening a store with Kim, who is talented, creative, patient and kind. Chloe lights up when she talks about sewing, and that fire has been ignited by Sew Happy and the studio’s talented team.”  Chloe's Mom

Dre Dre (Audrey Schwartz) had such a fabulous experience last year at Sew Happy. At the beginning of the summer, she decided she wanted to use the skills she learned and sew a dress for the first day of middle school. She picked out fabric and a pattern. With some help and oversight from her grandmother, she completed it and wore it on her first day. Thank you so much for teaching and inspiring her!" Mitchell Schwartz (Audrey's Dad)
