Magret “Maggie” Rowans business began with fabric scraps, Magical Scraps that transformed into hats, children’s clothing, and women’s accessories thanks to her skill at a sewing machine. She too began at farmers markets and crafts fairs before moving into retail full time in 2008. “I’d been sewing in my basement, so it made sense to sew in public,” she said. In fact, you can watch the act of sewing right in her shop, and even choose the fabric for your custom piece.
Magret “Maggie” Rowans eclectic collection reflects her desire to offer hand-made and different products from her own hand and from local artisans. Her fabrics are colorful, vibrant, and boldly patterned. The store is also becoming known for paper goods, cards, baby shower gifts, clothing for children and women, accessories, bags, and home goods.
Magret “Maggie” Rowans has lived in Breckenridge for over 20 years, starting out as a nanny, and working in ski and retail shops. Snowboarding and mountain biking are still passions that she manages to squeeze in between caring for her toddler, sewing, and running the business.
