The Sewing Box, Morpeth

An Aladdin's cave for sewers and crafters!

The Sewing Box in Morpeth, may look small from the outside, but has loads to offer on the inside! Spread over three floors, they have dress, bridal and evening wear fabrics, patchwork and quilting, and every type of haberdashery you would ever need!

Of course, they stock Janome machines and overlockers, and on my visit this time, we looked at overlockers, which are perfect for many of the stretchy jersey and evening fabrics they sell.

Bespoke designer buttons, which I haven't seen anywhere else in the country! Gorgeous for a special outfit, or just to use for decoration!
Fabulous range of unusual trimmings....

New Spring printed lawn...

Tattered and Torn accessories and trimmings...

and bespoke bunting....

and a lovely range of patchwork and quilting materials.

Leamington Spa Sewing Machine is the best in the area for Janome Sewing, embroidery and quilting machines and accessories, and is also a haven for fabrics, wool and haberdashery since they bought Harlequin Fabrics a few years ago, and now both businesses are in the same shop on Oxford Street in the town centre. Sue Smith, the owner of Leamington Spa Sewing Machines and can be seen on the left below, has many years of experience in the sewing machine trade and runs many of the sewing classes herself on the lower floor of the shop. Check out their website for more details...http://www.leamingtonspasewing.co.uk/shop/page/1?shop_param=

The shop has a full range of dress fabrics, haberdashery and wools.

We had a great time in the Horizon workshop, and everyone loved checking out the features of the new Janome Horizon quilting machine... just check out the range of stitches!

Grimbsy Sewing Centre moves into new premises!

Paul and Linda bought Grimbsy Sewing and Knitting about four years ago, and have worked hard to make it the best craft, sewing & quilting shop in the area. Last week they expanded into the building next door, and have more than doubled the floor space! Lots of room for even more sewing supplies!
Hard working, as ever, they didn't even close the shop during the move.... closed at the normal time on Saturday in the original shop.... and opened at 9am Monday morning in the new one.... not much sleep that weekend! They plan to run workshops in the autumn, so please contact them to put your name on the list.

Janome supported Paul and Linda with the move, and have no doubt they will have the largest selection of Janome sewing, quilting, embroidery and overlock machine in North Lincolnshire.

Grimbsy Sewing and Knitting, have a huge selection of quilting, craft and dress fabrics in stock.

And a great selection of trimmings and accessories... just look at the buttons!
