Betty’s Sewing Box is bursting with beautiful fabrics, unique gifts, and haberdashery must-haves!

Our fabric obsession is showing… we stock a huge selection of quilter’s weight cottons, including EQS, Riley Blake, Liberty Cotton, Sevenberry, Dashwood, Art Gallery, Rose & Hubble and John Louden. You’ll also find Merchant & Mills linens, stonewashed linens, environmentally friendly viscoses, and a glorious range of lawns. Alongside Liberty Tana Lawn, we’re especially proud of our ever-growing collection of vibrant Pima lawns – every bit as beautiful, at half the price.

Patchwork lovers are in heaven here: we have stacks of fat quarters (carefully curated from our fabric stash), panels, Christmas prints arriving all the time, Klimt fabrics and panels, wadding (including bamboo), and plenty of offcuts – perfect for applique or free-machine embroidery.

Patterns are another passion of ours. We stock The Assembly Line, Tessuti, Style Arc, Tilly and the Buttons, Busy Little Things, Merchant & Mills and more – plus all the threads, notions and extras you’ll need.

We’ve also got:

  • Koseli handmade , fair-trade felt crafts
  • Unique handmade pieces from local makers
  • Corinne Lapierre felt kits
  • Cross-stitch and embroidery kits

And if rummaging is your thing, don’t miss our stash of vintage fabrics, lace and linens.

Pop in soon – there’s always something new to discover!
