Stitch and Creative Crafts Show @ Manchester Central.... with S A Sewing Machines!

This weekend is The Stitch and Creative Crafts Show @ Manchester Central! And Saeed and Shirley from S A Sewing Machines in Rochdale and Oldham are exhibiting Janome sewing Machines. The show has lots to offer for crafters, with stands selling card crafts, jewellery, knitting and sewing.
The Janome 200e is our lowest price embroidery machine, and is ideal for card makers.


Can you guess the age of this vintage sewing machine? S A Sewing Machines are giving a new machine as first prize! Just visit the stand and fill in the entry form.

While I was visiting the show, I started talking to Richard from Parkin Fabrics, specialist in Millinery supplies... and it turns out they have Janome machines in their workshop to use on their hat classes!

Ministry of Craft - a wonderful way to learn new skills!

Sam, the owner and creator of Ministry of Craft, (Sam on the left and Alison on the right @ The Clothes Show 2010) has always loved to make things, whether it’s bracelets from her dad’s aquarium tubing or more recently cushions and jewellery for friends’ birthdays - she is a lover of all things crafty!
On returning to Manchester after travelling for two years, she tried to find a short and simple handbag making course, but to no avail. From this discovery Ministry of Craft was born.
Following 15 years working in the leisure and tourism industry, Sam knows how to deliver a great customer experience and this combined with her passion to get people crafting, made her jump at the chance to set up the Ministry of Craft in Manchester. Sam spends her days juggling her time around her toddler Max, husband Rik, her laptop and her beloved Janome sewing machine.
