Make Do and Mend A Liverpool institution, Mayfair has been supplying the city’s designers, dressmakers, knitters and sewers with haberdashery bits and bobs for decades. Painted bright blue outside, it’s a cute, old fashioned store with shelves and units groaning with a rainbow of yarns, buttons, threads, zips, patterns and knitting needles. Some of the stock is a bit too twee for my taste but the ladies that run the shop clearly make a conscious effort to try and keep up with trends and also offer crocheted and knitted scarves and babywear.

This quaint little shop has been on Bridge Road for at least 25 years and it’s great for all sorts of haberdashery supplies. Mummy dearest used to buy all her wool here to knit jumpers for us lucky kids, she’d also get all the obligatory extras: needles, zips, ribbon and thread etc. To be honest, I didn’t think Mayfair would survive the recession but it’s going strong; perhaps people have turned to making and mending in the old wartime spirit or developed an interest in cheaper hobbies.
