Happy Birthday to Darren!

Will you join me in wishing your friendly fabric guy a very Happy Birthday today?

He works tirelessly throughout the year selecting beautiful fabrics with me, so that you can create beautiful new projects.

Getting up early to go to markets and shows, staying behind to re-board what's sold out ready for the next market.

Together we choose fabrics to create our exclusive fat quarter sets, but it's Darren who cuts, folds and gets them ready. It's Darren who lifts the heavy boxes, loads the van, drives to your market and then helps you find what you're looking for.

Will you show him that everything he does matters?

Holes in umpers, ripped pockets, ripped buttons, damaged bike carrier pocket in plastic....

We're not Bob the Builder but if you ask us can we fix it.......yes we can (usually). Xx

🧵 DON’T MISS OUT! 🧵

After lots (and lots!) of requests for more workshops, I’ve been busy behind the scenes planning, playing with new ideas and revisiting some tried-and-tested favourites. ✂️

So… why not take a peek at our latest workshops on the website and book yourself some proper “me time” with a sewing machine? 🥰

Bring a friend, loved one or colleague — learning something new is always more fun together!

Whether you’re a complete beginner, want to brush up your skills or fancy trying something a little different, there’s hopefully something to tempt you. 🧵✨

⚠️ Spaces are limited to just 4 people per workshop, so it really is:

First come. First sew. First learn! 😉

Have a look, pick your workshop and book your new-skill time today!

🪡 Because there’s always room for one more stitch in your skill set…

What a weird few weeks....

The reactions we have to what we do varies so much.

We get people who are thankful for the work we do, ask us if we can turn something around quickly as they're desperate . We also get those who ask for things that either aren't possible, practical or economical or wont give the expected end results. For those, I offer my experience and knowledge and then unusually say no. It's not personal, it's based on 30+ years of working with fabrics and people's body shapes.

We've had some lovely messages, like John who rang to thank us for sending him some extra fabric to finish his shirt, from Sharon, whose beloved curtains we had relined.

"Hello Heather. I am so happy with the work you did and having my much loved curtains back in place."

To our new delivery driver who brought us a bag of tomatoes that he'd grown as "we were the only people who had been nice to him when he first started!"

So thank you to all of our amazing customers who appreciate who we are and what we do!

1. Block of the month.....make 12 blocks to make a quilt.

2. Basic square cushion cover

3. Lap/cot quilt

4. Puff patchwork

5. Appliqué pictures

6. Table runner

Is anyone interested and if so which option?
