How fun & right here in our county!

Calling any area girls who want to do a quick, fun & wearable craft this summer. The 4H mom in me can't help but think these would look great displayed at your club's booth too at the Cherokee Co Fair this year! 😉 Comment "workshop" below and we'll set up a time for your daughter & a friend or two to come in and work with us to create a cute pair of shorts or jeans. We have an assortment of graphics they can choose from and style a they wish! We'll be working with them to assist, and will need to limit groups to 3 or less since we'll be working with a heat press & want to make sure everyone is safe & supervised! 15 "appointments" can be made with us on Mondays or Fridays throughout June & July. Parents or babysitters are welcome to shop around the store or grab a coffee across the street while we work :) Feel free to drop a date you like when you comment & we'll see what we can work in!
