Paula Nadelstern has a blog post up on Bernina's We All Sew site today sharing photos from M&S Schmalberg, "the single remaining custom, handmade fabric flower manufacturer in the New York City Garment District." In a world where so much is moving to mass production overseas, M&S Schmalberg is celebrating its 100th birthday in this artistic business. Impressive!
Don't miss this unique peek inside one of a lifelong New Yorker's favorite local shops, plus some fabulous inspiration of another use for fabric! Thanks to Paula for sharing their story with us.
Paula says, "It’s my kind of place: colors, textures and creative process everywhere plus a historic backstory of kindness and survival."
Here's a peek at a few of the gorgeous flowers:
