Specialties
A one-stop sewing shop offering a very special collection of designer and organic fabrics for dressmaking, quilting, soft furnishings and craft. We also operate the Ray Stitch Sewing School with classes from beginner to intermediate in dressmaking, quilting, patchwork and embroidery.
History
Established in 2008.
Ray Stitch was created by Rachel Hart — an avid ‘maker’ of all things — and was borne out of the desire to find not only good quality materials but also the necessary tools and accessories all in one place. Her sadness, shared with many, at the demise of the high street haberdashery shop — traditionally the place where a sewer could spend an enjoyable hour carefully choosing the bits and pieces for a planned project — drove her to create a modern version of the very same.
Rachel set up an online shop in 2008 and moved into shop premises in August 2011. The shop operates over two floors and incorporates a space for sewing classes and events below in the basement.
Ray Stitch is committed to a conscious approach to product sourcing and considerations of the environmental impact and fair trade practices of production. Many of the products we sell are organically or sustainably produced.
