All New York State Shop Hop Magazine 2025

Many of us have a “favorite” store. A place that’s convenient, familiar, and that carries the stuff we like. But there is a whole world of new and different fabrics, notions, equipment, and personalities you’re missing out on if you don’t occasionally branch out. A Shop Hop provides you with a specific plan to do just that.

In a day when brick and mortar retail locations are dwindling across the nation, a Shop Hop works to promote and support quilting and sewing stores, so we can touch and feel the fabric in person. YOU “get this” and understand how important it is to support these places if we want them available in our communities

The towns and cities that hoppers travel through also offer many treasures. Small town main streets still exist and evoke many fond memories. Shop Hoppers also support these towns as they take a break to enjoy lunch or dinner at a quaint restaurant. Someone along for the ride may visit a local antique store or boutique while hoppers are visiting a sewing store.

Hops are also about other kinds of fun. Most offer a reward, like prizes or discounts, for visiting participating shops. And of course, you get to express your creative side when you return home by making something beautiful with the items you picked up along the route.

The All New York Shop Hop is coming to New York for their inaugural event during the months of May and June, 2025. It offers the opportunity to explore nearly 60 stores across the state. Start your adventure by picking up the All New York Shop Hop Magazine in mid-March at participating stores. This is a great resource to help you navigate the Shop Hop and something you can use all year long as you travel throughout the state.

Whether you hop to enjoy or support your community, we hope that you’ll mark a few days on your calendar to explore the great state of New York and all that its sewing industry has to offer. To learn more, visit AllNewYorkShopHop.com and join the Facebook Group: All New York Shop Hop
