Treadle Update re: COVID-19


Dear Treadle customers,

Each day brings us news of the coronavirus reaching further into our lives. As we move into uncertain times, Treadle will remain open regular hours, keeping things normal as long as we are able.

We are following current best practices: washing hands often and wiping down frequently touched surfaces - frequently (door handles, cutting counters, scissors, keypads, and more). Employees who do not feel well stay home.

Classes will be modified to accommodate social distancing. As classes are limited to 6 students or less, we are able to do this using both our classroom and Sew Together Space. Classes that are not able to be split will be postponed. If you are registered for a class in the next 2 weeks, you will be contacted regarding the status of that class.


We have seen many of you in the past few days as you plan for some down time. We hope to continue to share project ideas, new fabrics as they arrive, and the joy of success at a completed garment. We love doing that in person and being there for our customers. Treadle has always been a wonderful community of creative sewists.

Yet if you are no longer comfortable coming in, we will be happy to supply your fabric and creative needs in several ways. For inspiration, continue to check Facebook, Instagram, and our website/blog for new fabrics and projects. For purchases, we are happy to ship (as always) or we can supply curb-side pick-up.

I like to think that Treadle will always be here as a resource for our customers, many of whom we call friends. Right now, for the good of our community, doing business responsibly takes precedence. I also recognize that there may be small businesses that do not survive this. These are your neighbors and friends. For all of us, be kind.
