many years working out
o f their Portland office
but travelling around to
various project sites. She
says that, while she doesn’t
miss working there, she
does miss the travelling.
“I got to see a lot of
interesting places the public
doesn’t usually get to see.”
It w as d u rin g one
o f those travels that she
met her husband, Clyde
DeLoach, who works for
the coal-fired plant.
“I was doing welding
inspection and I met him in
the boiler,” she says.
She moved to Morrow
County when she and Clyde
married four years ago, but
continued to work for PGE.
D eL o ach h as tw o
children, now 32 and 27,
from a previous marriage.
She and Clyde also have
three children at home,
ages 14, 10 and eight. In
M arch o f this year, De
Loach decided to quite her
job with PGE in order to
spend more time with their
children.
She wasn’t looking for
another job, but then Pointer
ap p ro ach ed h er ab o u t
taking over the Heppner
business. After thinking
it over—overnight— she
decided to do it.
“I’ve never not worked.
I can’t say I miss it, but I
feel like.I’ve been spinning
my wheels a bit,” she says.
“ I ’ll still be able to be
flexible with the kids and
be available.”
It may seem an unlikely
fit for a person w ith a
construction background,
but DeLoach says it actually
feels like the most natural
move in the world.
“I started out working
in my parents’ fabric store.
I’ve sewn my whole life;
it feels like I’ve come full
circle,” she says.
She adds th a t she
recently received some
fabric from her mother,
with a note saying it was
from the original store her
mother started with some
friends in A urora, OR.
DeLoach says her mother
had sunk all her money—
about $200—into buying
the fabric. When it was
placed on the floor, they
made $200 the first day.
“ G o d is g o o d ! ”
DeLoach's mother wrote
in her note.
So, De Loach says,
taking over the shop on
Willow Street feels a bit like
going home. She says she
will do alterations, mending
and basic sewing projects.
She will also have some
special-occasion dresses for
sale, as well as handmade
items and a small selection
of fabric and notions. With
the town’s only quilting
store having recently moved
out of the area, DeLoach
says she would like to offer
area fellow seamstresses a
place to go for things that
now might be difficult to
find without driving a long
distance.
“Filling the shoes of
the fabric store will be next
to impossible, but I would
like to offer the community
the opportunity to get a few
things.”
DeLoach says she has
“big shoes to fill” but she’s
excited about the prospect
o f getting to meet more
people in the community
and getting to work in a
larger sewing space. (She
mentions that her husband
also is happy to have more
space in the house now that
her sewing equipment isn’t
taking up so much room.)
“ I have quite a few
ideas for things I want to do
and offer, and I’ll see how
the community receives it,”
she says.
A former
4-H
participant and leader, De
Loach says she also plans to
form a 4-H sewing club in
the fall “when things settle
down a little.”
Pointer will continue
on a side basis; she will
continue to do custom
em broidery, as w ell as
making herself available if
Julie needs time away.
“It’s not like I’m out
of it entirely,” Pointer says.
Clients of Sew On Et
Cetera should be aware that,
while the phone number
o f the shop will remain
the same, it will be out of
service during the switch
over. Pointer and DeLoach
say they greatly appreciate
everyone’s patience and
look forward to continuing
to serve Heppner and the
surrounding communities.
M eanw hile, Pointer
knows she's leaving Sew
On Et Cetera in good hands.
“Julie is an excellent
seamstress; she’ll do a great
job,” she says.
