- Welcome to the April meeting of the Ottawa Garment Guild
- Guest Speaker
- This month, we welcomed one of our first ever speakers to return to speak on what is really involved in running a Fabric store, we learnt how it's not all petting pretty fabrics and squishing lush yarn! Faustina Konkal Fabrications co-owner gave us a truly eye opening view of what it’s like to run a fabric store.
