Madalynne’s Opening Party + 1st Annual Frocktail!

Wow, wow, WOW! What an amazing event last weekend! The weather was not in my favor, but over 60 people came out to support the opening of a new version of Madalynne, a Philadelphia lingerie boutique, sew shop and more. Located in the heart of Philly’s Brewerytown neighborhood, this new space will offer hand-crafted, custom lingerie, bra making workshops and lessons, open sews, events and more. It’s hard to believe that a decade ago, I dropped out of college to pursue a dream – sewing. I was only 22 years old. Some laughed, some said it was a bad idea, and for years, many people asked when I was going to go back school. This decade, yours truly, who only has a high school diploma, opened a 1,000 sq ft studio + store!

It was great to see old (sewing) faces, such as Mandy, Danielle, Melissa, as well as new (sewing) faces. I blabbed to the new folks about the open sews, which are now 2-4 times a week, and hope to see them in the near future. They truly are a lot of fun and there is a good group of sewists who attend regularly.

One new face was the winner of PFAFF newest admire™ air 5000, a one touch air threading overlock machine. Rayne is a local boutique owner and her grandmother told her about the event. Glad she came out! I hope to see you soon Rayne!
