FOR woman entrepreneur Sarah Suttie, it was her late grandmother, born in 1926, the same year as Queen Elizabeth that instilled in her a passion for sewing.<\/p>\n
As a young girl, Sarah spent hours learning to sew on her grandma’s foot-pedal Singer sewing machine, a skill that would later come in handy when she started her own business, Monarch Giftware.<\/p>\n
Sarah’s love for her grandma and her country inspired a range of Australian hand-made heat packs with washable covers, each with its own unique and vibrant Australiana vibe.<\/p>\n
Over the years, she has honed her skills, and her customers have come to appreciate the quality of her work.<\/p>\n
Her neck-shoulder heat packs have garnered a particularly strong following. With 18 compartments that fully cover the upper chest, neck, and shoulder areas, her heat packs are like a warm hug, providing comfort and relief from a variety of ailments.<\/p>\n
It is no wonder that people who have purchased Sarah’s heat packs say they can’t imagine life without them.<\/p>\n
Sarah is a true inspiration, a woman who has turned her passion for sewing into a successful business, all while keeping her late grandma close to her heart.<\/p>\n
Her heat packs are not only of the highest quality, but they are also beautiful to look at, and they provide a source of comfort and relief to those who use them.<\/p>\n
Monarch Giftware products can be found at a variety of different locations, from pop-up shops at Stockland Wendouree to the best markets in Ballarat including the upcoming Ballarat Begonia Festival between 11 and 13 March.<\/p>\n
Retail outlets where you can find Monarch Giftware include The Essential Candle Co. in Ballarat and the Melbourne Arts Centre Sunday market for those living in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
