Quilt Shop Owner on Tough Reality of the Sewing Industry

During this time of self-quarantine, let's chat with Brenda Ratliffe, owner of Pink Castle Fabrics and The Stitchery Sewing Center in Michigan. Brenda and I have been friends for a few years, and recently she's had to face some tough realities of the sewing & quilting industry. She shares her journey from starting Pink Castle Fabrics in her basement in 2011 up to today where she and her husband, Jason, operate an online business and have two brick and mortar locations. With many local quilt shops and sewing-related businesses struggling, we discuss why this is happening and what we can do as a community to survive and thrive.
