North Carolina, a land where the mountains whisper secrets to the clouds and the sea tells tall tales to the sandy shores, is home to a unique group of children. This group of kids, known as the "Stitch Witches", have a magical talent for turning simple cloth and thread into masterpieces that would make even the most skilled tailors green with envy. Our story begins in the heart of NC, where these crafty kids gather every Wednesday afternoon in the charming town of Threadville. They hop on their bikes, waving goodbye to the squirrels, the birds, and the occasional garden gnome, and pedal down to the old, creaky community center. In the center of the room, atop a royal purple cushion, sits their teacher and guide, Sir Seamster Squirrel, a dashing, velvet waistcoat-wearing squirrel with a monocle and an extraordinary mustache. Sir Seamster Squirrel, despite his small size, is quite the mighty maestro of the sewing world. He is so good, he can thread a needle with his eyes closed, standing on one tiny paw, balancing a thimble on his tail! The Stitch Witches listen attentively to Sir Seamster, their expressions full of awe and excitement. They laugh at his funny anecdotes about his adventures with needle and thread, gasp at his amazing sewing tricks, and cheer when he shows them a new stitch. Together, they create a symphony of laughter, learning, and love for sewing that echoes across the valleys and bounces off the mountains of NC, inspiring more kids to become part of this magical sewing circle.

Sewing is a wonderful hobby that many parents may not be aware of for their children. That being said, one local Waxhaw mom has been teaching the craft for over a decade. After starting out in her bonus room in her home, she opened Thimble Bee, a storefront off Providence in 2014. She has been blessed to meet so many wonderful families in the Charlotte area and hopes that those who come to Thimble Bee find it to be a safe and comfortable place to learn and grow in their skill.
