About Gillybee Designs
Fabric and haberdashery shop, with sewing workshops. Homemade crafts and furnishings in Norwich. Roman blinds a speciality.
Gillybee Designs Description
My name is Gilly and I have been sewing and crafting for the last 40 or so years! I make stuff. I opened my shop on the 10th October 2015 selling my makes and stock around 1200 carefully chosen gorgeous fabrics for crafts, quilting and dressmaking, with pretty ribbons by the metre and buttons. I have a great range of haberdashery and also stock upholstery and curtain making supplies at competitive prices. I’m a proud stockist of Prym and Zweigart linens and aida.
My speciality is making beautiful bespoke roman blinds for my customers. All carefully handsewn using fabrics from my Clarke & Clarke range. I am also happy to quote for roman blinds made in your own choice of fabric. I run sewing classes and workshops for all abilities and sewing cafes on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturdays providing expert guidance on your choice of project. Juki sewing machines are provided for your use along with overlockers, coverstitch, a huge cutting table and pressing facilities. I am also a stockist of Juki, Britannia and Alfa sewing machines. Come and shop in a relaxed atmosphere with free parking adjacent to my shop and avoid the hassle of shopping in Norwich City. . . . . . . !

When you come to class just make sure you have put your other half in charge of the housework! You probably seen this, but I still love it!
Announcing the all new GillyBee Designs Friday Sewing Café - limited spaces - early booking advised. Plus check out the latest fabric, yarn and more just arrived into the shop https://mailchi.mp/…/all-the-latest-fro m-gillybees-check-ou…

My new Friday morning Sewing Cafe starts on the 22nd March 9.30am - 12 noon at the GillyBee Sewing Room. This is where you can choose your sewing project, and with guidance from me along the way you will create beautiful things. (the only thing I don't have space for is curtains and blinds) This isn't for absolute beginners but you will receive plenty of help as I only have a maximum of 6. There is a large table, Juki sewing machines, overlockers and a coverstitch along with pressing facilities. It's my sewing sanctuary where you can sew, meet new friends and chill - sewing is great therapy. Call me if you are interested, 01603 716140, there are still spaces.......£15 per session, £45 for four sessions. Free parking right next to the shop.
New yarns came in. Now the walls have a fresh new look!
