About Us

The–Stitchery celebrates its birthday on May 24th and so far our birthdays have always included a day of balloons and cake-oh and some special offers…

The previous business that was based here in the charming Riverside building was in desperate need of a re-vamp by the time the-stitchery took over, but for lots of different reasons we took our time and in the interim concentrated on re-building our fabric stocks, refocusing the haberdashery and yarn ranges and listening to what our customers had to say.

We cleared the whole shop into a 7.5 tonne lorry over Christmas 2009 and set to work. It wasn’t an easy or cheap project but all those months of planning have paid off;
The-new-stitchery is clean and organised with light, sturdy fixtures that make it really easy to see all the product

Oct 2010 saw us extend our floor space and our product ranges with the arrival of The Linen Basket – this little extra space has gone from strength to strength and has almost outgrown itself already-so watch this space….

In between the refurbishment and the extension there have been illnesses, babies and parties- no marriages yet though we’re ever hopeful (after all we’d have the best dresses and fascinators!!) The talented team that runs this shop is what makes it sooooo special….
