    Patrick & Anitra

    Owners

    Patrick began working at Kramer’s over 25 years ago while studying at the University of Cincinnati. A friend told him the store was hiring, and he quickly became part of the team. After years of hard work, he became the owner nearly ten years ago.

    Anitra discovered sewing after high school and fell in love with it. She moved to Cincinnati, began selling handmade clothes, and became a regular customer at Kramer’s. That connection led to a job, and she has now been with the store for over 20 years. She and Patrick, now married, co-own the business together.

    Today, Patrick and Anitra are proud to lead Kramer’s with a focus on service, creativity, and community. They’re grateful for the continued support and look forward to many more years of helping people sew and create.

    Erin

    Manager

    I have been with Kramer's for nearly five years, starting when many were sewing masks during the pandemic. You can usually find me hanging out around the front of the store, assisting customers, counting inventory, rearranging displays, and enjoying the creativity of our customers and teachers. Outside of work, I spend time with my husband, two sons, and our puggle, Bug.

    My love for sewing and teaching has led to a unique opportunity at Kramer’s. I have been a BERNINA Mastery and Creative Sewing Projects teacher for three years. It is very rewarding when my students become confident in using their BERNINAs and new sewing techniques.

    Kimberbell & Bernina Overlock and Embroidery Mastery

    I began at Kramers in 1991 when I brought in my sewing machine for repair. Sydney offered me a teaching position after learning I was a Home Economics teacher. I've since sold products, taught various machine classes, and made many friends. Now, I teach Kimberbell classes, private sessions, and Bernina Overlock and Embroidery Mastery Classes.

  • Cheri

    Quilter, Embroidery/serger educator

    I’ve been sewing and quilting for about 45 years. I love every aspect of quilting, from cutting pattern pieces to quilting the quilt. I’ve taught a variety of classes over the years, but far prefer quilting classes since that is my specialty! I love being in the business because I love the quilting community. The number of friendships I have made over the years has been a gift. The quilting world is overflowing with talent, generosity, and kindness. It's also a very special group that is willing to share advice, ideas, and experience!.

    Susan Ward

    Teacher

    I am a new educator coming on board
    this season. My sewing experience began at age 8. I recently retired from my career in alterations. I am excited to share my sewing knowledge, teaching you how to do fittings and the different processes to altering garments. We will learn how to make clothing fit wonderfully! The Class will be 3 hours to allow for progress in accomplishing detailed techniques.

    The class fee is $60 per class and will run three sessions.
    I’m looking forward to meeting you for a fun learning experience!
