About us: 

Deidre Dudley learned that the  Viking Dealer in Greater Lafayette was closing her business, so she asked her sister, Daren Breed, to help her open a sewing shop. Both have been sewing since they were very young, are creative and enjoy working with people. Also, each share a passion for sharing the love of sewing with others as a life skill for necessity and leisure time pleasure.


With this, the dream of owning a sewing shop with high-quality machines and a wide variety of classes took shape. 10 years later and while Sisters Too has grown significantly over that time we have  a unique opportunity to grow again due to more regional business closings.
