A Stitch in Time
A small tailor shop tucked quietly among larger landmarks in Eastguard.
A Stitch in Time is a small tailor shop on Scholarly Way in Eastguard. The building is modest, a single-story structure with a red shingled roof and narrow windows that spill warm lamplight onto the street in the evening.
It sits tucked behind The Mad Sphinx, which stands catty-corner on Main Street. Across the street rises the marble façade of the Eastguard Public Library, making the quiet little shop feel almost hidden between larger landmarks.
Despite its size, the shop is well known among townsfolk. Travelers come here to mend torn cloaks, sailors bring in worn coats after long voyages, and merchants occasionally request more refined work for festivals or formal gatherings. A painted wooden sign above the door shows a needle and thread looping through an hourglass.
Inside, the shop smells faintly of cloth, dye, and warm oil lamps. Bolts of fabric line the walls, stacked neatly on wooden shelves. A sturdy cutting table sits near the center of the room, surrounded by chalk, shears, and measuring cords. A small fitting platform stands near the back where customers try on finished garments.
The place feels orderly and quiet, the kind of shop where careful hands and patience matter more than speed.
