Open a little less than a year, Sew Beautiful is a welcome addition to the local area. Light, bright and welcoming, this lovely store stocks a range of necessaries and treats for the crafty. The selection is small, but chosen with care, patchwork fabric(mostly in lovely, modern colours), knitting wool, sewing notions(the bits and bobs everyone needs), ribbons and thread. Also available are a selection of locally crafted gift items including some drop dead cute kids clothes, stitched with care and a real eye for design. Opened by owner Yvette who clearly loves what she does and enjoys sharing the simple pleasures of creating with needle and thread. She offers a loyalty program, credit that goes towards fabric purchases and is ready with a smile and a chat anytime. There’s obviously a real need for such community based shops as she tells me that the knitting and crochet classes she offers are booked up until next year, and plans are underway to add more workshops for kids next school holidays. Whether you need something specific or just want to pop in for some inspiration, craft is the new cool and this is just the place to get you started.
