Brother Sewing UK

Sew Creative, located in the market town of Petersfield, offers a wide range of fabrics, machines and a supportive shopping experience. Fabrics, machines and sewing support in Petersfield In 2012, life threw some pretty unpleasant things my way. My husband was diagnosed with cancer, my mother passed away, and the death of my best friend followed soon after. My husband, who has now had the all clear, suggested I start a project to surround myself with what I love the most; the joy of creativity! Sew Creative was born to bring light back to my life, and in return, aims to give customers the joy of making something that is creative and individual. We pride ourselves on being very much part of the community in Petersfield and offer not just a great range of fabrics, haberdashery, workshops and sewing machines, but lots of advice and friendship too!

Located near Leek in the Staffordshire Moorlands, The Lorna Knight Sewing Academy offers countless sewing machines, haberdashery, fabrics and workshops in a picturesque location. Workshops, machines and haberdashery near Leek After running sewing workshops in church halls, museums and shops for over 15 years, I decided it was time to have my own base, so in July 2014 I opened my studio in a barn we renovated in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Starting with six Brother sewing machines and four tables for workshops, the studio filled up quickly with even more sewing and embroidery machines, haberdashery and fabrics - so much so that now, five years later, we are busy converting the next part of the barn so we can spread out further and increase stock. My husband, Stephen, joined me in the business 12 months after opening the studio. As well as ordering haberdashery stock and buying fabric he received excellent training from the Brother engineers and is now qualified to repair a...

Situated in sunny Plymouth, Make at 140 is a fantastic sewing shop, cafe and workshop space run with a fantastic passion for the community! Sewing supplies, workshops and machines in Plymouth Hello, my name is Lizzy and I am the creator and founder of Make at 140. Make started its journey as a button shop called Funky Poppy, which sold unusual buttons, button jewellery, gifts and anything made with buttons. It was a great little shop in a touristy part of Plymouth, where people would come year after year to choose from my homemade buttons and jewellery. My love for buttons started when I was a child, playing with my Granny's button tin, which I still have now. You can’t beat a good button - change the buttons on any garment and it makes it look expensive, designer and special! Starting off with buttons and upcyling, my journey took me into the wonderful world of sewing. I was given a Brother sewing machine for my birthday one year, I got it out the cupboard a couple of tim...

Located in Wyke Regis, Weymouth, Bits & Bobs has plenty of sewing supplies and classes for craft lovers. Sewing machines and a wide range of workshops in Weymouth Bits & Bobs was founded in 2014 by Roberta (Bobs) as a new business venture. Bobs had bought the premises in 2013, but they were in dire need of renovation. Bobs wondered, one day, sitting amongst the bare shell of the building, whether she could run a shop in it – something she’d not yet tried in her career. Bobs knew a bit about sewing and knitting and other crafts, having been bought up in a crafty family who made all their own clothes and accessories, but knew very little about retail. It couldn’t be that difficult, she thought, and so her journey began! Haberdashery and sewing machines for all skill levels Five years on, the shop is now well-stocked with plenty of fabrics, haberdashery, notions, crafting products, yarns, patterns, kits and threads - everything you might need for your favouri...

In the first article of our new Dealer Focus series, we hear from Backstitch in Cambridge about their transition from the web to a shop, fantastically independent location and the huge range of classes they have on offer for budding sewists! A growing independent haberdasher Backstitch was started online nine years ago. We started with some quilting cotton and a few dress patterns, after discovering a dearth of modern fabric available online in the UK. After four years we moved into bricks and mortar premises at our current location at Burwash Manor and will be having our fifth birthday party there in March! The landscape of craft sewing has really changed over nine years with plenty of interest developing, but although you can now hunt out modern haberdasheries, they really are still gems that need to be found and treasured.
