Well, I can't believe it but it 25 years today since I opened THE SEWING ROOM, it was 1st February 2000 after the closer of Laura Ashey at Gresford the previous Christmas. When we were given the news that it was closing I went into total panic not knowing what I was going to do but with the encouragement of me family and Barlows empty building and the support of Laura Ashley for equipment THE SEWING ROOM was born, the first day I stood in the shop wondering what I had done not knowing if it would take off or not but how wrong I was and I can honestly say I have never had a day without work.
Thank you to Barlows for been great landlords, Richard Huxley for 25 years managing my accounts and my lovely family for believing in me and all the support you have given me, I honestly could not have done it without you ❤️.
A massive THANK YOU to my customers old and new for your continued support, without you all it wouldn't have been the success it has been. I don't think I will make another 25 years but at 72 years young I am not ready to turn the machines off just yet.
Love Gill x

I have just been informed that there is a rumour going round that I am closing 'THE SEWING ROOM ' I was told that somebody has seen it on FB. Just to confirm I am NOT closing and have no plans to close anytime soon, don't know where the rumour has come from but it's definitely NOT true.

Well where has the time gone. 24 years ago today I opened THE SEWING ROOM after been made redundant with the closure of the Laura Ashley factory at Gresford, not having any idea whether it would work or not, well 24 years later I must have done something right with the help and support from my family it worked , they say as one door closes another opens ,that was definitely the case for me ,so a massive THANK YOU to my family and customers that have supported me on this journey, I have loved every minute. I made the decision a couple of years ago to reduce to part time but at 71 I'm not quiet ready to turn my machines off yet ,I don't think I can say here's to the next 24 years 😂 but I would like to think there is a few more yet.

Thank you love Gill x

Helen ,sorry I can't remember your surname and for some reason I didn't take your phone number , your roman binds and cushion covers are ready.

If anybody might know her that can help ,she is not very tall blonde hair she has a little girl in school and a little boy not in school she is into horses and believe is a regular at hunt balls as I have altered dresses for her ,I think she might have recently moved as she is having lots of blinds made ,I always take phone numbers but I didn't on that day 🙈.

Happy Christmas everybody.
