About This Savage Mill Business
Leona’s Sewing Studio is located in Suite 214 of the Carding Building, one of oldest buildings of Historic Savage Mill. In the early 1800s, all of the functions of the textile mill were housed in the Carding Building, including processing raw cotton, carding, spinning and weaving.
Now, Leona’s Sewing Studio will take its place by returning a small part of the Carding Building to some of the original textile-related business functions. Leona's Sewing Studio offers a rich portfolio of sewing, design and quilting courses for the beginner, intermediate and advanced level sewer. The portfolio includes, but is not limited to, sewing, quilting, pattern drafting and sewing machine repair. Leona’s Sewing Studio also offers custom clothing services for just about anyone. However, the main focus is designing custom clothing for clergy and liturgical dancers. One of the primary principles of Leona’s Sewing Studio is to give back to the community. Special projects are planned that pertain to community service both internationally and in the local area. Leona’s Sewing Studio is geared to helping America regain hope and prosperity through sewing and quilting, a relaxing and rewarding life skill. We hope you will join us for class as we re-create and re-connect with textile history at the Historic Savage Mill.

Happy 10th Work Anniversary to Mike Foster, Facilities Manager here at Savage Mill. Mike knows these buildings and grounds inside out. He`s fixed leaky roofs, drafty windows, faulty HVAC and clogged pipes; built out tenant spaces and overseen recent renovations to give the space a fresh look; and been a competent and charming Mr. Fix It, always ready with a joke and a smile. The next time you see Mike, please be sure to congratulate him on making Savage Mill such a fun place to work and visit!
Thanks to our new tenant @savellevenue, the walkway from the Big Lot to the Great Room is now flanked by 100 baby limelight hydrangeas. They`re growing rapidly, and will transform the space into a vibrant, dense path of flowers over the next couple of years. The flowers begin as lime green in late June, turn to creamy white, and transition to shades of pink and burgundy by October.
Check out the work and vision:

Last Sunday`s screening of two short documentaries, "Relentless" and "Eroding History," highlighted local artist/activist Joyce Scott and the environmental justice issues facing Black communities on the Eastern Shore`s Deal Island. The audience stayed for a long conversation with the filmmakers and directors afterwards. Thank you to @achungphoto for bringing these important films to Savage Mill.
