Sewn to the Sky Participates in First Cash Mob Event
River City, TN – A few days before applications for Project: PopUp, were due, artist and former teacher Carrie Pendergrass woke up in the middle of the night with a business idea.
“It was really strange, actually,” she said. “I was really ready for a change, and I had been thinking about a business in the back of my head for years and years. It was always something I thought, ‘If I’m able to do it, it will be when I’m a lot older,'” the 38-year-old said.
Now, she has her own business—Sewn to the Sky, which offers handmade gifts, mainly from local artists.
“I represent between 20 and 25 artists, including myself,” she said. “I also sell fabric for people that sew. [We have] modern kinds of fabric that have sort of a retro-looking feel that you can’t find in regular stores.”
