Just wanted to say thank you very much for the lovely plum loop backed French terry which arrived today.  It's gorgeous.  The quality of your fabrics is always beautiful and the delivery was really quick.
Thank you so much.

Sally N.

Just wanted to say receive my fabric today. It’s beautiful & very lovely packaged. So thank you very much.


Norma - Online Order

Sarah was very patient when teaching the class - making sure to explain everything while demonstrating and repeating advice again if we weren't sure.

I definitely recommend visiting if you're a complete beginner or just wanting to renew some past knowledge.

Natasha Hings - Attendee of Start As You Mean To Sew On

I bought my sewing machine a couple of years ago and had no idea of how to use it.

Since then I have been on lots of classes at Crafty Sew & So, I love coming to the workshops to learn new skills and would recommend anyone to come along to a class.
