New Forest Fabric Shop tells a positive yarn

Aim

We are aiming to expand over to the other side of the new forest and take over an existing business when the owners retire early next year.

I’m really excited about having two spaces and being able to help all the crafters out there. With both shops, I will be able to offer new and different types of stock to beginners and the more experienced quilters and seamstresses. This year has been hard for a lot of people and it’s been great to offer products that have helped people with taking up a new hobby or revisiting one. Sewing is very calming and good for the soul. Since we have reopened, it’s been lovely catching up with regulars and seeing what they have made during lockdown.”

Created by You in Fordingbridge offers classes for quilting, making blinds and sewing and these will continue alongside the pottery painting studio that Kirsty installed when she opened in 2017.
