I’m interning at Stitch Cleveland which is in Lakewood.  The commute is about an hour long and I can finally say that I’m used to the drive.  Of course the construction is a hassle but I think that’s one thing I’ll miss about the internship is the drive.  The first few days I was there, I pretty much got introduced to everything about the company.  How Stitch Cleveland came about, the backgrounds of my host, their passion, and what I could help bring to the company.

I have to say that I have the best hosts!  Right away they made me feel like I was at home and so comfortable.  It’s exciting to see how a small business can grow.  Their goal is to appeal to the younger crowd and get them interested in sewing, fashion, drawing and being creative.  I have to say that they have reached that goal.  I’ve never seen young adolescents be so drawn into sewing, crocheting and being creative, which is great because the younger crowd is the future.

My weeks there have been fun.  I’ve got to learn so much.  I’m a quiet person and they’ve helped me crack my shell by getting to know them and their cliental.  I’ve help assist a crochet class.  I have to say my favorite thing to do in the fiber arts field is crocheting.  I’m help making an Afghan sample for the shop, I have made a cosmetic bag sample and I’ve made an Amigurumi teddy bear.  I’ve sat in many classes that were taught.  I enjoyed partaking in the classes because its help me build new skills.  Some of the samples I’ve made our posted on their websites in my own little section called “The Intern Files.”  I hope you check that out as well.

Minus all the fun things I do, I also work on paper work, I’ve helped with bookkeeping, answer phone calls, help assist and cut tons of fabric which are almost as fun. HeHe  I’m enjoying the time I’ve been given and I’m sure I’ll miss it when it’s all over.  In the mean time I’m working hard, soaking up all I can and making projects I never thought I would.  If you love to sew or want to learn I recommend Stitch Cleveland!!!
