  <body-html>&lt;p&gt;Sewing for me began at the age of 9 with my 4-H leader (and professional tailor), Mrs. Stewart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2002 I started my own sewing business making scrubs, crafts, home decor and teaching.  During this time I dreamed of having my own creative sewing shop, inspiring others to learn to sew.  In December 2007, my dream came true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Top Stitch offers a variety of fabrics, books and patterns from modern designers, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Jennifer Paganelli, Joel Dewberry and more!  You will experience fun sewing classes using new model Janome sewing machines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Top Stitch employs talented staff experienced in sewing, creating quilts, garments, crafts and home decor items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At The Top Stitch, sewing is not only a passion, it&amp;#8217;s a purpose.  I am so excited about my sewing shop in Spokane, WA, and the creative environment we&amp;#8217;ve created.  If you are interested in learning to sew for enjoyment or perhaps to develop a skill that will take you into a career, visit us at The Top Stitch!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take care and happy sewing!  &lt;br /&gt;
