Introducing our new loyalty card...

Saturday saw not just the celebration of our third birthday but also the launch of our new loyalty card scheme. If you were in the shop over the weekend hopefully you'll already have one of these cards in your wallet, if you don't then all you need to do is pop in to the shop and make a purchase over the value of £10 - this will get you your card and your first stamp. 

Stamps are available for every purchase of £10 or over, and the reward for filling your card is a (free) fab Fabrication tote bag - handy not just for future purchases from us but also to keep in your handbag / manbag / car to avoid the new carrier bag charge from larger shops.

Spotlight on the Seller....Lisa Sew

Hello, I'm Lisa of Lisasew

From a very early age I had an interest in anything hand made. My parents and grandparents all had links with the old textile mills of Bramley & Leeds and I grew up in a family with a “make do and mend” spirit.

I started with knitting thanks to my Grandma, sewing at school, followed by cross stitch embroidery encouraged by my Mum.

Lisasew was born from the idea of wanting to have unique accessories that I knew no one else would have. I turned my creative hand to making fascinators for special occasions such as weddings, parties and the races.

Family and friends quickly all wanted their own slice of one off designs.

This developed into a desire to have matching accessories so I moved into creating original, made to measure bags and purses.

 

Over the years I've made many bags and purses and realised a love of sewing and giving that special handmade gift.

Since the arrival of our son a few years ago now, I delved into the quilting world. Creating my first quilt so we could cuddle under together. I can honestly say I have never looked back. Quilting has changed my world in more ways that I can describe.

 

Here is one of my latest quilt designs that will be appearing in Fabrication

I have left behind a 9-5 office job and now spend my time running a fabric shop with my business partner Justine along side creating handmade sewn goodies, like my purses and quilts.
