A few days ago I was out running errands and
decided to pop into my local fabric store. I was only planning on being there
for a minute, but when I went around the last corner, I came face to face with
something I recognized! The Creamcycle athletic skirt was standing right in
front of me! To be more exact, a woman wearing the Creamsyscle athletic skirt
was standing right in front of me. I love
seeing Sweet Spot® Skirts out and about in the real world, “in action” as I like to think
of it, but I usually see them at races, so seeing one while out running errands was
really exciting! I said, “Hey! Cute
Skirt!” to the woman wearing it, and she replied, “Oh yeah, thanks. It’s really
comfortable.” After talking to her for another minute or two I finally confessed
that I’m a seamer for the company and had, in fact, made the very skirt she was
wearing. We stood in the fabric store for about 10 minutes talking, and
this is her skirt story:
Her name is Liz and she’s a part time PE teacher at an
elementary school in the Salem-Keizer School District. She bought her first Sweet Spot® Skirt,
Modern Groove, at REI the day she bought her new bike. She thought the skirts
were adorable, but wanted more color choices, so she decided to make a trip
into our shop in Vancouver, Wa. She fell in love with the company and the store
and is now the proud owner of 5 reversible skirts! She says the skirts are
perfect to wear for work, because she wants to look a little bit professional,
but needs to be comfortable enough to run around with her students. She says
she likes the simple, straight lines of the skirts, and loves the pops of
color!
I really
enjoyed meeting Liz and hearing her story. She loves her Sweet Spot® Skirts; they fit her lifestyle and
her personality perfectly! I told her that, as a seamstress, it’s nice to see
what I spend all day working on being put to good use. I’m always on the
lookout for a Sweet Spot® Skirt “in action”, so whether you’re running a race or
running errands, maybe next time I’ll run into you!
