Get social at
THE SEWING CAFE
“This will be our third Sew Saturday!
We love being able to celebrate all that is
great about sewing with our customers
and more importantly – be social with
it! As usual, we’re planning a fun-filled
day with mini workshops, a special offer
or two and most certainly some cake.
We’ll always support Sew Saturday, it’s so
great to have a day celebrating all of the
passionate sewing and fabric shopkeepers
up and down the country, helping to keep
everyone sewing. What’s better than
sharing the stitchy love?” – Becky and Fay
