Round-Up: Goods is open, Motor City Sewing moves to Corktown, Bronx debuts patio

Saturday marked the official grand opening of Goods, a custom-made wearables shop located in Midtown's Park Shelton Building.

Goods can personalize an article of clothing or bag with a stock saying or icon while at the shop, and purveyor Karry Brook can also work with custom artwork with a bit more turnaround. Items from local artists are also available for purchase. Read more about the process and the products here.

Hours are Tuesday noon to 7 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. The street address is 15 E. Kirby #108, but the storefront faces Woodward. Call 313-871-1466.

Also in the Park Shelton, Good Girls Go To Paris Crepes is expanding into the storefront that housed Leopold's Books -- but have no fear, the independent bookseller has just moved to a new space within the building.

Sarah Lapinski, she of Wound Menswear and Motor City Sewing -- a boutique sewing operation -- recently announced relocation to a larger space in Corktown. She writes: "This space is larger and cleaner throughout. You will feel a sense of inspiration when you enter this artist enclave known as the Brooklyn 2000 lofts.
