Our Mission

Our aim is to create a fuss-free, secure and delightful environment for you to shop for ‘sweet n chic’

haberdashery and fabrics at the comfort of your home.

Sewing is making a massive comeback - so it's time to seriously start thinking about taking

this ‘granny’s old-time favourite’. Feeling tired of the same thing everyone else gets from the high-

street? Whether it’s sewing on some funky buttons or adding a unique appliqué to the cashmere scarf

that you never wear, there is something for everyone to try out. Be a true fashionista by transforming

your personal wardrobe. But before you even think about starting to sew, be sure to equip yourself

with our latest prints and trimmings.

A place to share delicious crafty inspirations.

Sewing is fun, creative, and it is easy! You can explore the infinite possibilities in sewing by unfolding your creativity. Don’t get intimidated by your friend’s fancy projects! We have a range of simple projects to inspire you and get you started on making something nice for yourself. Whether you are complete beginner or a sewing miracle we believe we have something just for you.

You are more than welcome to send your projects to InspireMe@MyFabricHouse.co.uk
