I finally had the chance to pop up and see Cindy Winter’s new shop in Millwood.
I realized I’ve been meaning to go for awhile, so made a point of starting my work day with a morning visit to Creative Seams.
The shop has been in its new home since September, with Winter moving from her three-year-old spot on Main Street in Ossining.
The big difference? Here, she has a storefront. A window to decorate. A place along the sidewalk. A bench out front. A (free) parking lot alongside the building.
See, over in Ossining, the shop — while spacious and filled with goods — was found at the end of a long hallway, sharing a common entrance with some other shops and businesses.
Now, Winter has a lovely window (sorry, the sun’s glare made it hard to shoot), but you get the idea:
Inside, she continues her business of custom sewing. Bring a favorite fabric, pick and trim and she’ll turn it into a pillow. She also fills the shop with examples of her work, from table runners to wine bottle bags. Window treatments have become a very popular segment of late, she notes. She also is known for her work for weddings, proms and other formal events.
Then, there are the gifts. She’s putting a focus on fashion and accessories. During the holiday season, she sold out of most all of the scarves she hand-picked in Manhattan. She carries some clothing; soon it will be her own designs (drawing on her time when she was in the fashion industry).
Take a quick look at the shop, then plan to visit:
Creative Seams, at 78 Millwood Road, is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays (Mondays by appointment).
Call 914-923-3230.
