Great British Sewing Bee Sewing Machine

We have spotted the contestants using the Janome 525s sewing machine during the early seasons then replaced by the Janome 725s because of its superior lighting.

3 years ago Which singled it out as the best sewing machine

Now it has been selected as the machine of choice on the new BBC2 'Great British Sewing Bee'

the machine is also our best selling machine by a large margin  

with those 3 recommendations you wouldn't go far wrong buying a Janome 725s 

GBSB - The Right Kind of Exposure?

With the BBC's new show Great British Sewing Bee coming up, some voices in the sewing community are concerned about the unrealistic expectations of prospective new sewers.  What if they buy cheap, unsuitable machines, get frustrated, and never sew again?

Our new post over at the Great British Sewing Bee blog addresses the question of how interested viewers can start sewing and, hopefully, have a good experience.

Have any tips yourself for newbies on the sewing scene?  We'd love to hear them!

It's a Boy!

Thanks for all the support from our customers popping in and out of the shop. We are pleased to announce we have had a baby boy 6.7lb. 

Please bare with us over the next few weeks as we won't be in the shop as often. 

Claire will be in with the pram no doubt over the next few months so you will be able to have a peek at him. 

A very big thanks for cards and lovely handmade goodies that have been left in the shop for him.
