Whether it's with a row of strategically placed safety pins or with our tiny sewing kit we carry about just in case, we have your back(or your arse - whichever seam bursts!)

4. We're so zen...just DONT TOUCH THAT OVERLOCKER!

/wp:heading

Sewing actually puts the brain into a meditative state, but touch our overlocker/serger and we might not be responsible for our actions. See also: Cutting ANYTHING with our fabric scissors.

5. Hanging about with us is an education, or at least you think it is.

/wp:heading
wp:paragraph

We make up so many terms you'll be in awe of our vocabulary...even if most of them are made up. "Sewist", "Reversey" and "Bumfle" anyone?

6. We make a MEAN cup of tea.

/wp:heading
wp:paragraph

Sewing and tea go hand in hand so you can be sure you'll be treated to several top quality Earl Greys! We've usually got some excellent biscuits to go with!

7. Our dexterity knows no bounds.

/wp:heading
wp:paragraph

We're so good with our hands we can untangle your entire jewellery box in front of an episode of Coronation Street.

8. We're super positive!

/wp:heading
wp:paragraph

We've had so many projects go terribly wrong and subsequently magically turned many a disaster into a usable item that we've had to learn to see the positive in every situation. When you are having a crap day we're the perfect people to turn that frown upside down!

9. We're eco friendly!

/wp:heading
wp:paragraph

You don't get much greener than an upcycling, clothes mending sewing guru and if you're very nice we might even teach you some of our eco-skills! That's one less thing on the conscience for you!

10. When the economy collapses and we go back to bartering, you're going to want to learn our skills!
