Saftler’s

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Recently I went to Saftler’s,

a wonderful sewing and fabric store in Whitman, MA.

They’ve been around since 1919,

and have a fantastic assortment of fabrics and supplies.

They even repair sewing machines!

. . .

I needed some new buttons for my books,

and boy did they have a selection.

Racks upon racks of buttons and a bin full of miscellaneous ones!

The same sign that’s probably been there since they opened.
