Sew N Sew

Tucked in neatly behind Marks and Spencer on Callender Street is the charming Sew ‘n’ Sew. I had never noticed this wee haberdashery before today and the only reason I went inside is because my mum is a keen knitter and she mentioned that she needed some new knitting needles. Being a knitting novice myself I didn’t know just how many accessories there were!
Sew ‘n’ Sew seems to have it all. Every nook and cranny is filled with some material, buttons, ribbons, wool and needles. I ventured in at around 10 am and to my surprise there were 6 customers perusing the isles. Perhaps I am being naïve about just how popular knitting and crafts are but I was shocked. I was able to find a circular knitting pin (as requested by mother dearest) without too much trouble and I’d say that if you are in to haberdashery then this is your go to shop.
There were a few bargains too, including buttons for 5p each — so if you popped a button off your favourite blazer or the excess eating at Christmas caused your winter coat to explode you might just find a replacement button here by having a hoke through the tubs at Sew ‘n’ Sew! The two girls working there were chatting to some other shoppers and seemed to be really helpful — all in all I found this wee shop extremely endearing and I got what I was looking for so I walked out with a smile on my face.
