Our
Mission
Every successful business, large or small has a goal or
objective that is clearly articulated and well-understood.
Simply put, at Distinctive Sewing Supplies our mission is to
bring to the Canadian marketplace a select collection of
premium quality sewing supplies through an online shopping
medium.
What Makes us
“Distinctive”?
You won’t find an exhaustive list of supplies here; nor will you
find entire lines of fabrics and patterns. But what you will see
are carefully selected products with enough information to make
an informed choice about what to buy for your next sewing
project. As our business grows, so too shall our product
offering, but only products that add value for you, our clients.
Our Values
In our post-modern society of too fast, too much and superficial
relationships, it’s encouraging to find a business that still
believes in old fashioned values. Distinctive Sewing Supplies
believes that corporate values are more important than ever. Our
core values are:
Respect: Respect does
not have to be earned; it is a given. In all our business
dealings we treat individuals with respect, and we hope to
receive the same in return.
Integrity: All
business transactions are handled with honesty and fairness. We
will keep our commitments, financial and otherwise.
History
Distinctive Sewing Supplies has been in business
for just over two years. The response from fashion sewers
has been wonderful and we are growing faster than we can keep
up. It has been an incredible learning experience from a
business perspective. Meeting so many talented, creative,
interesting and generous people makes it all so much better.
Distinctive Sewing Supplies was born of a long time dream to
turn a much loved hobby into a business. My name is Catherine
and I have sewn and enjoyed sewing since the early age of nine
years. And although there were gaps associated with life
changing events (university, child rearing and career
development), I always returned again and again to this
wonderful craft. With a masters degree in business, a highly
successful career in marketing and a passion for fashion sewing,
it just seemed like a natural course to pursue. I
appreciate all the support I've received from my suppliers, my
family and friends, and most of all my clients, who have made
this dream a reality for me.
