Vod's Here, Sewing & Crafting Emporium

01/30/2025

I bet you’ve never been to my tiny shop. I rent the most quaint little space on Central Ave in Toledo, Ohio with so much sunlight, color, and happiness! As you can see, I sell quality apparel fabrics (better than Joann), sewing notions, and various embroidery, needle felting, block printing, and sewing kits. Fun fact-because my wholesaler is located in Maumee, I can save money on shipping, which means my prices are very competitive with Joann’s, Amazon, and others. Come on in and check out what we’ve got to offer!

Vod’s here is moving into the health and fitness influencing market now. Glad I could inspire you ! Remember what I always say: you got salt up to be part of the swoll squad. No baby reps on my watch or you’ll never be a slaughter king. First of the month is coming up and says the rent is due. (I really talk like this. I didn’t consult urban dictionary for gym talk)

Introducing three new makers! My group sewing classes begin at step one of a pattern-pinning and cutting out the pattern pieces. They learned a lot in today’s four hour workshop!

Another workshop is FULL! I guess there's not enough of me to go around! If you want to take a workshop with me, it seems you will need to plan ahead!

Prefer 1-on-1 instruction? Vod's Here offers private lessons too!

Imagine this: altering your clothes so they fit just right, giving a new life to your thrifted finds, or transforming old garments into something fresh and stylish. Sewing lets you step into a more sustainable lifestyle, becoming a responsible consumer who cherishes what they wear.

For some, it’s more than practicality—sewing is about honoring a legacy. Maybe it’s your grandmother’s machine, her hands once stitching memories into every seam. Learning to use it means continuing that tradition and making it your own.

And then, there’s the pure joy of creativity: the pride of completing a project and hearing someone say, “I love your outfit!”, you can smile and say…

“THANKS! I MADE IT!” 😍
