 | FRESH BAKED GOODS
Fresh Baked Goods, the store, was founded by Laura-Jean the Knitting Queen as a home for her line Fresh Baked Goods. The line, known in the beginning for fun, cute and cozy knits, grew into a full clothing line of dresses, tops and skirts as well as sweaters.

 | SEW MO’
Sew Mo’ (aka: Moira Coughlan) specializes in functional, durable and downright fashionable handbags for women. A one woman show based in Toronto, Moira designs and creates all of her bags by hand. A passion for sewing and design and careful garment construction is provided in every Sew Mo’ bag. Formally trained as an Architectural Technologist, Moira started sewing after her mother (an avid sewer), on a whim, bought Moira an old Singer sewing machine from a garage sale. The machine sat around gathering dust until Moira started to feel sorry for the poor thing. She took a beginners sewing class in February of 2007 and a beautiful friendship began. Moira designed and made her first handbag that summer and hasn’t stopped since.

 | BLACK JAM
One of a Kind Wearable Art. I make jewelry and accessories that are statement pieces. All my work is handmade and one of a kind. I love the idea of randomness. I love the process of making. I love the thinking about what I will do next whether it's the next stitch or colour choice. I love to see what will happen next. I love imagining the people who will wear my work.
