Sewing and embroidery came naturally to Vanessa Tan as she had always seen her mother sew since she was a young girl. So, she started ThreadsbySabs in June 2020, as she was inspired by the many small businesses coming out during circuit breaker.Once she graduates university, she hopes to bring in more sustainable products and to work with local businesses to bring in new and special inventory.
