Bluffton fabric business holds Saturday open house

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 23, 2015

Alice Essinger couldn’t find out-of-print fabric she needed for several quilting projects, so she started her own business.

The story of her Bluffton-based business, Fresh Modern Fabric, is more complicated than that, but it’s close.

Essinger operates an Etsy-based fabric business above the Bluffton Karate Center. The shop’s address is 103 ½ Vine St. (Across Main Street from Greg's Pharmacy.)

Fresh Modern Fabric invites Icon viewers to the shop’s first-ever open house. It is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24. Essinger said that in addition to viewing over 1,500 bolts of fabric there will be refreshments and door prizes.
