Hi Hi,
We are brewing up something new at SOS.
A virtual online showroom!
We are building the showroom on the platform MyOnlineShowroom.com
the site is at http://sosbocaraton.myonlineshowroom.com/
we are putting some videos introducing our showroom there -
Its summertime and we’re feeling fine.
Better than fine actually.
George was just featured as the expert upholsterer in an episode of Room For Improvement on WSVN 7 with the host, Martin Amado.
George and Martin picked out a furniture piece and upholstered it for charity.
George was featured in a segment on Channel 12 in January.
This time he was showing everyone how to save money when reupholstering dining room seats.
He also let viewers know about our community sewing classes that we are having at our Boca Raton drapery workroom.
On December 29th George was featured in an interior design segment on Channel 6’s South Florida Today !! He was showing viewers how to turn their furniture from “drab to fab.”
George is moving up in the world 
George also has an interior design segment coming up this weekend on WPEC Channel 12 and later in the month he is scheduled to be featured in the segment Room For Improvement on WSVN 7.
We should have the video clips from all of these appearances up on the website soon. Until then here are more pictures of the Channel 6 segment.

The Local Fabric Recycling Program
DETAILS:
As an upholstery and drapery workroom we deal with a variety of beautiful fabrics. At the completion of any job we have some small scrap pieces of fabric. If the pieces are too small to make pillows, table runners, or placemats from them we cannot really use them. Rather than throwing these bits and pieces away we want to do something for the benefit of the environment and the community.
So we are making these fabric pieces available to the public and anyone interested can receive some of them free. (first come, first serve basis)
This is a great program for quilters and other small craft enthusiasts.
If you are interested, contact (561) 289-2001 or email info@sos-boca.com to schedule a time to come and pick them up.

FREE community sewing classes
DETAILS:
We are holding free classes to teach the basics of upholstering and drapery making. The classes will start with a project such as an ottoman or chair. Participants will learn how to sew, what tools to use and what supplies are needed. SOS will provide the use of professional sewing machines, equipment and some tools for students. It will supply some fabric initially, but participants can purchase fabric from stock at a 50 percent reduction or bring there own. SOS supports green practices and will recycle fabric left over from previous jobs. Fabric available for purchase is all natural weaves, textures and fibers. At the end of class there will be refreshments and the opportunity to socialize with fellow students and vendors.
*will provide job placement assistance if you’re good and want to get into the business.
WHEN: Each free session will include four one-hour classes on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. Morning (8 a.m.-9 a.m.) or afternoon classes (1 p.m.-2 p.m.) are available.
For scheduling and to register, call (561) 289-2001 or email info@sos-boca.com
We are constantly working on improving ourselves at SOS.
Last time we went on a “Kaizen” fest (Kaizen is a Japanese term for continuous daily improvement) we beautifully streamlined our drapery sewing center.
This time we are turning part of our workroom space into a lovely little showroom for our customers.
Here is what we have so far:
Reception Desk -
A nice marble-top desk as soon as you come in for receiving and entertaining clients (we have candy! ).
Also there are some of the latest interior design magazines for you to flip through.
Hunter Douglas rollershades and blind display -
In the entrance way we have setup a nice display of working Hunter Douglas shade samples. You can play with the controls to test out opening and closing them. Also - for designers - we have an arrangement where you can checkout a sample to show to a potential client.
Sample books display -
Through our dealer arrangements with local to-the-trade-only fabric companies (like Norbar), importers on th west coast, and Greenhouse Design’s extensive online wholesale catalog we can offer you one of the largest selections of fabric in boca raton at below retail prices. (see our fabric page)
So to give you a taste of what is available and possible we have setup a display area for samples of fabric, trim, bamboo, and other window covering and upholstery accessories.
We hope you’ll come visit us soon!
In the future we plan to have free refreshments and products demonstrations on scheduled dates/times.
If you want to be notified when that happens, and keep up with us in general, sign up for our free newsletter (sent once a month)

Chairs without fabric. Foam stripped. Ugly.

Beautiful.
We have been busy busy bees lately.
We changed our workroom setup and made a new streamlined sewing center.
