Threads that Sparkle has been servicing Pink Dreams' tailoring needs since the community's inception. It is not a family business; instead, it remains staffed through strings of apprenticeships as younger ponies are trained to take over the store someday. Sparkler has been running Threads that Sparkle for the past fifteen years.
At Threads that Sparkle, business spikes during wedding season and prom season. Otherwise, it gets a calm but steady stream of requests for clothing repairs and formalwear fittings.
Sparkler is the best and most experienced tailor in Pink Dreams. She swears that her name's similarity to the store's name is just a coincidence, but that doesn't stop bored conspiracy theorists from coming up with a connection. |
Ever the workaholic, Sparkler used to pull long hours to contribute to the success of her one-pony business. However, at her wife's behest, she started training Lofty in order to lighten the workload. At the time she wasn't sure if it was necessary, but now she's very happy that she can leave the store in capable hooves.

Baby Tappy comes around often to watch the tailors at work. Once he gets a bit older, he'll be a good candidate for an apprenticeship of his own.
