NYC Fashion Sewing Tour 2013
|
May 5 - 13, 2013
The dates are set, the hotel is booked and we have already begun to plan the fashion sewing trip of a lifetime just for you!
Join other sewing enthusiasts as we tour NYC, visit designers' workrooms, costume makers, see a Broadway play, shop for fabrics, leathers, trims, buttons and sew much more....!
To learn more about how you can be one of the lucky 20 who will enjoy the 2013 tour contact us at: 248-889-3111 or emailThis tour took all the fears of visiting a big city away. With Marsha and Marla guiding us on to the correct subway or bus we visited the inner sanctums of designers, wholesale fabric houses, found little niche fabric shops. We cruised around Manhattan island and dined very well. I just wish I could have done this 40 years ago but I experienced it in this lifetime. Don't put this trip off!! Cherry Delaney
