Description:
"I" am my own company. I have big ideas on a creative business I would like to start up in Pennsylvania (first, then to expand to other states). I am currently sewing (and selling) my own sewing projects/creations online and at craft shows. The type of business I want is to be the next "Joann Fabrics" store. There are many areas in Pensylvania who do not sell fabric, but it's in big demand. A lot of people enjoy making craft from fabric; and to design their own clothes (after seeing many designing shows on TV). My shop will have much more to offer than just selling material and crafts, like Joann's. I picture myself in pleasing the customer in actually "showing" them the "how-to-do" lessons in different sewing techniques. I will also order what material is in high demand at the time, good qualifty fabrics in many colors and textures, offer a pleasant atmosphere, have on-the-spot sewing techniques and lessons, and to actually sit down with the customers to give them help in anything they need. I will not be just a regular fabric store. I can see the BIG picture in what it takes to run a business, but also know that "success requires heart-and-soul effort, and you can put your heart and soul only into something you really desire." And this is my biggest desire in life! I know I can do it!
