Item Description
ROCKLAND—If being dragged into fabric shops by your mother as she searched for 1970s patterns was your childhood experience, Clementine is going to turn that frown upside down.
Leah Ondra is the latest young business owner to set up shop in downtown Rockland at 428 Main Street. Her shop, Clementine, offers fabrics, supplies and notions (pins, ribbons and buttons, etc.) to make a handmade wardrobe or craft project as well as creative goods such as sketchbooks, wool felt, beading materials, and hand-dyed yarn.
The Midcoast has really taken off with the Maker Movement. The ability to make garments or home goods with your hands is a very attractive concept for many people who live here and don’t have—or really even want—an excessive amount of shopping outlets. For the crafty person, Clementine is a candy store.
“Oh yeah, we are your gateway drug,” she said, laughing.
Ondra, safe to say, has made a business out of her passion.
“I was making dresses for my Troll dolls when I was six. I used a stapler before I learned how to use a needle and thread.”
After studying costume design in college, every job Ondra has had since has been in retail. When she was living in San Francisco, she taught crafting classes, but upon returning to Midcoast Maine and settling in Rockland with her husband in 2011, she helped open and manage a craft store in Belfast called Fiddlehead Art Supply. After several years of that experience, Ondra wanted a business closer to home and decided to open her own store.
