What our customers say

★★★★★
"I've realised that I reach for your patterns more than any others. They are for stuff we can manage to make at most levels but that doesn't mean they are basic looking and not stylish. They are really cool and look good which is a bonus."

"EIRA is my best seller ever, I’ve actually lost count now but won’t be far off 50 that I’ve made. I’d be rich if I hadn’t spent all the money on more fabric! 😆😆😆"

ABOUT US

A family business in Telford, Shropshire

We design, test and photograph every pattern ourselves, then film a tutorial to go with it. Our patterns are written for people who are new to sewing, so there's no jargon and every step has a photo.

We also teach small sewing classes at our studio in Wellington, and our Facebook group is a friendly place to ask questions and share what you've made.

WORKSHOPS

Sewing classes in Wellington, Telford

Classes of up to six people at our studio. Sewing machines, fabric and thread are all provided, and you take your pattern home.

2-hour and 3-hour workshops for adults (the 3-hour ones are for larger projects), Little Bobbins for ages 7 to 15 on Saturdays, Home Ed 6-week blocks for home-educated children on Monday afternoons, and half-term craft sessions for children. Workshop vouchers make a lovely gift.
