Horizon Day in Ashby de la Zouch...

Fabulous Fabrics is a haven for dressmakers! This shop has everything you will need for dressmaking, from wool suiting's, summery retro prints, stretch lingerie laces... and all the trimmings you will want to match as well.
Alison Smith, the owner of Fabulous Fabrics, also runs Alison Victoria School of Sewing in the class rooms above the shop. She specialises in bridal, tailoring, corsetry and lingerie classes, and runs various classes to City and Guilds status. The shops has a wonderful "drapers" shop feel to it, and you will love having a mooch around the fabrics and trimmings.

On Thursday I ran a Horizon Test Drive for ladies who are thinking of buying our new machine, and everyone had a great time playing with the new stitches, and trying out all the wonderful features of this long arm quilting machine.
