Ellie...

Ellie sewes...
...and sews. That's all she knows. All the church bazaars, fundraisers, and for any new baby around, she sews. If she doesn't take the chance, and go to New York, what will she do?
   But she's living on a shoe-string. Renting the shop downtown pushed her tiny savings into the redddddd.
How else was she going to sell her creations? Find people who appreciated her handwork?
   Yet one sad truth remains...Ellie is a product of an earlier time...when people depended on the local seamstress, and not the nearest mall, for their clothing needs.
    Still...Ellie has one secret weapon. She's an excellent seamstress and loves making wedding gowns.
 And she could make them so much better if she learned new tricks from this famous designer in New York.
   There's only one thing she can do...give up her apartment and move into the back of the shop in downtown Asheboro until she starts making money. So...Ellie packs her belongings into the storage room...and drives from North Carolina to New York.
   Do you think Ellie is brave? Or foolish? What would you do?
