What a beautiful little gem of a shop

I have had two very happy hours sewing the soft furnishings for my grandchildren's room at our new bungalow

Enjoyed every moment (and the peace and quiet ) and found both ladies so helpful and informative. I choose some beautiful fabric and can't wait to start another project

Thank you for a very enjoyable experience

User

Went to my first ever sewing class since school..had a fantastic time and made a lovely cushion. The tutor Lucy was really friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed it so much have booked another workshop and really looking forward to it

User

Went in today and found some beautiful fabric. For what I need I don’t need too much but they had an amazing selection of fat quarters and off cuts �� I am a photographer and they even had some fabric with little cameras on ����

User

Very informative session. The Janome rep certainly knew her stuff and now I know how to use a lot more of the machine feet that have been sitting in my sewing box a long time. Gave me lots of ideas and more wants for my wishlist.

The gurls who run the Sewing Cafe are always friendly and offer as much or as little advice as you want without pushing you to buy things. Thanks ladies.

User

Very easy to pop in and grab what you need. But more expensive than shopping online but still worth it. Staff are lovely.

Thank you for a brilliant morning, my first attempt didn’t end too badly, highly recommend. Love my slouchy bag

Such a fantastic place to learn some new sewing techniques. The staff are excellent and so patient and helpful. Had not done any sewing since school but quickly got the hang of it again in their workshops and have made some wonderful things.

I was treated to the toy tub workshop as a present. I loved every minute of the day and was really proud of my creation. I can't wait to book another day. The shop is amazing, full of wonderful fabrics and accessories, you're spoilt for choice. I would highly recommend this to anyone, even if you've never seen before but want to have a go.
