This is such a cute boutique, and the owner is so kind, helpful, and talented. All of the pieces in store are either vintage or handmade, which is amazing. If you love hate La France, then you have definitely been looking for this shop. If you see something you like but need a custom fit or fabric, they can do that for you, or if you have something wholly original in mind, they can do that too. If you love vintage clothes, this is a hidden Tampa gem

Eric is a phenomenal teacher. He explained everything very well. He answered all my questions. I’ve never sewn before and I already feel comfortable using my machine for a project sewing patches on a concert “battle vest.” I already set up my next lesson to learn how to do a hem on my pants. It feels great to be self sufficient on these things. Thanks Eric!

Just had my first sewing lesson. Eric is amazing! A wonderful patience teacher. Explained everything about the mechanics of my machine and went through threading bobbing and some stitching. Loved it. You won’t be disappointed. Just booked my second lesson.

My first visit and I was told that the shop was in transition from a sewing shop featuring vintage fabrics/ sewing materials to a boutique featuring items designed and hand fabricated by the enthusiastic owner (SCAD Alum)! (He does commissions, too. Another customer was getting fitted for a bikini of colorful vintage fabric during my visit). Love the fun top I purchased today, too!

The owner is named Erik and is a great dude. I came in originally because I needed alterations but it's so much more than that. They sell fabric, buttons, designs, and the owner makes his own outfits. It's a cute little place and a local business.
