BIBELOT
SINESS ALL SEWN UP
Liz and Sophie have also been running a weekly
‘crafty natter’ group on a Thursday morning for the
past two years and due to demand added a
monthly ‘crafty natter’ group in the evening to
cater for people unable to attend the weekday
group. This runs on the second Tuesday of each
month. Liz said: “Our weekly crafty natter group
had been very popular but we have had lots of
customers disappointed that they could not make
it due to work commitments who now can.”
Some of the workshops available at Bibelot are;
Beginners and next steps sewing workshops with
sewing expert and writer Lorna Knight, a range of
crochet workshops with Rowan tutor Sophia Reed
and many more. Sophie added: “Our workshops
offer the chance to learn a new skill whilst enjoying
tea, coffee and cake on vintage china in beautiful
surroundings. We always receive fantastic
customer feedback and have many returning
customers.”
The well-stocked haberdashery room at Bibelot
includes; Yarn by Rico, Stylecraft and Handknit
Cotton by Rowan, Fabrics by Tilda, Rowan and
Free Spirit, oilcloth, ribbons, buttons, jewellery
findings, needle felting equipment, craft kits,
books and general haberdashery items. New to
Bibelot is a range of sewing patterns by Butterick,
Colette and Eliza M Vintage.
If you love to sew but do not have your own
sewing machine you can now go to Bibelot and hire
one of their lovely new sewing machines to use in
their haberdashery and craft room. You can even
hire an old singer hand sewing machine if you have
always fancied a go on one or do not like electric
sewing machines. A complimentary cup of
tea/coffee and biscuits are included for every hour
of machine hire.
Alongside all the exciting changes happening at
Bibelot they also have a brand new updated
website which now has more details of all the craft
workshops, parties, crafty natters and an online
store.
