About Danielle                                                     

Hello! I’m Danielle King, and I’m honoured to be the new owner of Cindy’s Thread Works.

Cindy built something truly special here—a community rooted in creativity, care, and quality—and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward. I’ve chosen to keep the name so that Cindy’s spirit can continue sewing alongside us with every stitch and spool.

I grew up in Nanaimo, BC, and sewing has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. I learned from my mum and grandma, threading my first needle for cross-stitch at the age of three. By six, I was sewing doll clothes on my mum’s machine (until she wisely decided it was time I had one of my own!).

Growing up visually impaired and living with chronic illness meant I spent a lot of time at BC Children’s Hospital. Through it all, sewing was my constant—a place of joy, expression, and comfort. In high school, I poured my energy into designing clothes and creating elaborate costumes for our school plays. I even took over the theatre department at Dover Bay Secondary, where I got to dream big and sew wild.

That passion led me to fashion school and then into the whirlwind world of film. I’ve had the privilege of dressing celebrities, winning awards with amazing costume teams, and sewing for productions like Once Upon a Time (Disney), See (Apple TV), and Riverdale (Warner Bros.), among others.

As much as I’ve loved the industry, the demanding pace eventually became too much for my body. So when the opportunity to take over Cindy’s Thread Works came along, it felt like coming home.

Now, I’m beyond thrilled to be staying within the sewing world—this time as a supplier and supporter of your beautiful projects. Whether you’re a quilter, stitcher, or just starting out, I’m here to help you find the high-quality tools and threads you need to keep creating what you love.

Let’s keep stitching magic together.

— Danielle
