Meet Molly
With a deep love of all things fabric, Molly relocated her fabric shop from Fayetteville, NC and opened her storefront in downtown Dayton in the fall of 2020. The shop offers beautiful designer and dressmaker fabrics from Jones NY to Vera Wang, with lovely choices in between for every season and taste. On the Sew and Sews Place Facebook page, you’ll often see Molly unboxing quilting cottons from fabric companies like Art Gallery Fabrics, QT, Northcott, Diamond Textiles, Moda and other favorites before setting up displays, draping them on "Audrey," and stocking the shop's fabric shelves.

Molly hand-picks all the fabrics and notions that come into her shop. As a huge supporter of home sewing and hand-made projects, she takes on the challenge to find the best materials at affordable prices to offer inspiration and project ideas to help her customers be successful in their sewing and quilting endeavors.
Along with fabrics, notions and trims, shoppers will find garment patterns from independent designers such as Sew Chic Pattern Co., Serendipity Studio, Collette, Petites Plus, The Sewing Workshop and Indygo Junction. Classes are offered in quilting, garment construction, and private instruction. At other times, space is available as an open sewing lounge and for machine rental.
If you haven’t been to the Sew and Sews Place yet, invite your friends to join the Choo Choo Quilters guild meeting for an armchair shop visit, Monday, February 15, at 6:30pm. There will also be a give-away… so don’t miss out.
