In 2018, Gail Kelley and Jamie Hevener met when Gail began teaching at a local fabric shop. Jamie’s engaging beginner class—where students proudly made pajama pants—impressed Gail. After coffee and several meetings, they discovered a shared vision: creating a dedicated sewing studio in Columbus focused on garments—The Sewing Hive.
