When Sew Simple opened its
doors in October 1995, first day takings were the princely
sum of £22.
But as they say, "great oaks from
little acorns grow", and now nearly 10 years on Sew
Simple has moved from its humble beginnings to a new purpose
built shop of some 7,000 sq ft.
Sew Simple's new premises opened on 18th June 2005 and
was overrun with enthusiastic customers, keen to take
advantage of the huge range of products at competitive
prices.
The
expanded paper craft department is a scrap booker's paradise
and customers would be hard pressed to find a store which
can equal, let alone surpass, the range now on offer.
The
same can be said for all other departments within the
store.
As
knitting has found new fans in Hollywood, so Sew
Simple has responded and expanded its range of wool
to meet the requirements of both established and
new generations of hand knitters. Plans are in place
to hold children's workshops to get the youngsters
off to a flying start. Check our events pages for
details.
Patchworkers
and quilters are spoilt for choice with a huge selection
of fabrics on display, as well as tapestry, cross
stitch, favours for weddings, metres and metres of
ribbon, braid and fringing, zips and buttons.
And
recently arrived at Sew Simple are Winsor and Newton
Artist Materials and associated products. From massive
canvasses to water colour postcards; great tubs of
Liquitex acrylics to tiny tubes of Artists' oil; portfolios
to easels; Sew Simple strives to meet the requirement
of even the most demanding of the artists.
The Sew Simple store is ably managed by Lorraine Howe,
who with her dedicated staff, is always on hand to share
knowledge and skills on a diverse range of arts, crafts
and needlework topics. If you have a query, feel free
to ask!
