Emporia Fabric & Craft

What an incredible shop! Fabulous fabrics and crafty treats, splendid gifts made by local peeps, and lovely staff too. Yay.

Visited for the first time yesterday, lovely shop and staff. Great to find a fabric shop that sells dress fabric! (as well as fleece, canvas, cotton lawn, quilting cotton, wool, patterns!!) My new favourite shop ��

Thank you!



My daughter (13 yrs) attended a workshop today and made a lovely skirt. She was so proud and is completely inspired.



I'm certain we'll be regulars for lots more fabric for the future projects!!! ❤️

So many great stalls as always, brillant gift ideas... got loads of bits for christmas...... and the cupcakes were yummy! Would highly recommend everyone going to the next one in December. ..... Sharon x x

My little girl loved her course today, maybe I'll book myself in! Thanks

My girl came in for a beginners sewing class today & came away very happy. She had managed make a lovely bag & cushion cover. I even managed leave her alone without a problem (this is quite a big thing for her due to aniexty disorder)

clair was lovely, helpful, very friendly & understanding.

The price for the class is fab too.

Highly recommend.

She now wants book another course :) (so do I lol)

My daughter went to a t-shirt sewing party this morning, and loved it. The t-shirt is fab, and they had a great time. Would Defo recommend.

Love it in here, fabrics are lush and the staff are lovely

I attended the class for sewing for beginners today, and throughly enjoyed it. I was so impressed that within 40 minutes of the lesson I had managed to make a cushion cover ( i had not used a sewing machine since I was at school - a long time ago! ). Claire was excellent - created a relaxed environment, was very calming, attentive and knowledgeable. The time flew by, but I am so impressed with myself that I managed to make a cushion cover and makeup bag in the 2 and a half hours. I highly recommend this, so enjoyable, fabulous fabric and I think I have the bug for this now. Thank you for your patience Claire.. I really enjoyed it.

Had visited this beautiful fabric palace a few times,

and booked a group beginners sewing class with Claire.

Was a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone learned so much along the way, Claire is a fantastic teacher, thoughful, and full of great knowledge.

What is there not to love?

I would really recommend this shop for its beautiful stock, and for all of the help available inside.

Had a really good morning at a beginners/get to know your sewing machine class with a friend. Our tutor was excellent, she tailored a couple of things to suit us, was patient and knowledgeable. I am planning to come back with my niece some time soon so she can do this class and I will try something a bit more adventurous.

Thank you!

Had a great time at the beginners sewing class and it was so great to be able to take my machine along. I have to say I had never used the machine before so it was so great to have someone talk you through everything and give you and opportunity to have a practice before we started our projects. I was so proud of my pencil case and cushion cover and although I made a few mistakes I felt really supported and left the class feeling so confident and looking forward to going it alone. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is complete beginner as they are so supportive. I look forward to booking my next class- thank you for a great class.

Had a fab morning at the beginners sewing class today. I have never sewn in my life and was able to make a cushion cover and make up bag in just over two hours! Clair was very welcoming and knowledgeable and felt at home instantly. Will be back shortly to purchase some fab materials to get my sew on! Thanks a million - highly recommended!

Great shop. Lovely fabric very friendly staff. X

Good shop worth visit -Helpful Staff.

Fantastic sewing class today, thoroughly enjoyed it :-)

Evelyn and her friends loved her party today. Lots of sewing machines on Christmas lists now!

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks for Lois's party.x

Clair is a genius!!!! Had the best day today making a case for my planner!! The fabric choice is amazing, the care and attention to what I needed wonderful! Has totally renewed my love of fabric and sewing. A thoroughly lovely day that I will be repeating... to make another case, a skirt or two, a dress or three... ooohhhhh ��

Beautiful little shop. Lovely atmosphere and lots of excellent quality fabric and bits and bobs. Will be back.
