Editor, 

If you have not yet stopped by to visit Merritt Sew Valley, you should do so right away.

This new store is owned and operated by Simon Ho and Florence Au who have recently moved to Merritt.  

Simon sells and services sewing machines and he also custom prints T-shirts and bags.  Florence is a seamstress and does an amazing job of replacing zippers and creating purses, bags and other items.  I think she even gives sewing lessons too.

The store is located right across Voght Street from Baillie House and is a hidden gem in Merritt.  If you are starting your Christmas shopping and looking for something really special, make sure to check out Merritt Sew Valley.  It’s well worth a visit!
