We asked our homeschool questions of our workshop leader, Shirley, and Fabric Spark’s owner, Daryl.

1. History:
How long have you worked at your business/in this field? How long has your business been in the community?
Fabric Spark is about 8 years old, but we’ve only been in the east end for 4 years. Before that, it was online only. 
Shirley is a lifelong sewist and teacher of many things including most things fabric related. She is a teacher and sewing coach for Fabric Spark.

2. Geography:
What’s your favourite place in Toronto?
Daryl -I love walking in Wilket Creek, I’ve been doing it since I was a little kid.
Shirley – I grew up on the Humber River but now I call the Don River valley my local hiking space.  
What other east-end businesses do you recommend?

Other East End Shops?  For Daryl,  it’s all about the food:
Cumin 
Cafe Coroco
Mon K (Shirley too) 
Knuckle Sandwich
Samosarie
Sharman’s Proper Pies – (Shirley too)
