A longtime seamstress, fashion designer, and retail professional, Andreyko brings years of entrepreneurial experience to the venture.
She and her family moved to St. Pete more than two years ago from Philadelphia, where she operated a bridal design and alterations business.
Rather than continuing solely with alterations, she decided to launch a retail concept centered around sewing education and thoughtfully sourced fabrics.
September Sewing Co. will offer a range of fabrics for both garment-making and crafting, including cotton, linen, shirting, jersey, and other textiles.
The store will also carry sewing machines, home goods, antiques, and St. Pete-themed décor.
Designed for both adults and children, the shop’s classes will cover sewing fundamentals, machine operation, and beginner-friendly projects such as tote bags and pillows.
Andreyko expects class sizes to remain small, typically between five and ten students, allowing for more hands-on instruction.
The curriculum is based on techniques and lessons developed throughout her years of professional sewing experience.
“Even if you don’t necessarily enjoy it, it’s still such an extremely useful skill to have,” she said.
