As a lifelong dressmaker, I cannot believe I didn’t find this gem before now. I popped in for some advice relating to the purchase of an overlocker and cover stitcher and was amazed by the amount of the friendly advice given by Robb. He spent well over an hour explaing the pros and cons of available machines, despite being in the shop on his own. I was so impressed I put a desposit on two machines. They arrived a few days later and I went back for a lesson on setting them up with Robb and Tina. They both spent loads of time with me, allowed me to bring in my own samples of fabric to test on and ensured I was happy and confident before I left with the machines. This is clearly a business with its customers at it’s heart, a philosophy that appears to be missing from the majority of businesses today. I would recommend to anyone looking for sewing machines and haberdashery items. Thank you.

Great little haberdashery full of tempting sewing and knitting goodies, including proper silk thread which can be almost impossible to find these days. Lovely friendly staff and great service too — the chap in charge made a great fuss of my 90 year old mum even though she only bought a packet of buttons. Recently expanded premises mean they must be doing well — and long may they continue to do so!

Lovely friendly staff, honest and wont make you spend a fortune… or tell you to get your sewing machine cleaned and maintained when not needed… one stop shop for all your sewing and knitting needs… shame they dont have fabric though…

I’ve been relying on Rob and Sid to rescue me from sewing machine disasters for about five years now — well, they fix the machines anyway. I’ve bought three machines from them(workhorse Singer, Janome quilting machine, Janome overlocker) and can happily say that the after-sales service is brilliant, plus they match internet prices — they sell mainly Janome but service machines of all makes and all ages. Why would you buy online or from a department store, when you can buy from someone who’ll fix and service your machine? They also have a selection of haberdashery and acrylic wool. The trimmings are standard but you’ll find everything you need for basic projects, plus they also still stock Gutermann thread which is increasingly difficult to find, for some reason. Great place.

Living in Hackney Wick can be pretty annoying sometimes as the only shops we have at our disposal are two kebab shops and two food shops. So when one needs something like wool you need to look further afield. I needed some wool to make pom poms with recently so I paid Sew Amazing a visit at the end of Roman road and found all the wool i needed. This place has got a wide spectrum of different coloured wool at £1.60 a ball, quite the bargain! The guy in here fixes sewing machines and is really lovely, i was chatting to him for ages about all sorts of things,(he especially likes to talk about his sons) I love the sign on the door that says«We prosecute shoplifters, regardless of the amount involved — Drunks and crackheads included»

I came here to get my singer sewing machine fixed some time ago. It is run by a small family who have been in the business of fixing and selling sewing machines for over 60 years, and let me tell you now, they really know their stuff. They ordered a new part for my machine and fixed it very quickly. If you are looking for a special type of sewing machine, they stock Bernina, Brother, Pfaff, Singer and Toyota to name but a few. The haberdashery section is great too, you’ll find every type of thread and needle here as well as yarns and ribbons. Lovely little place.

Ein Laden, der sich auch auf die Herstellung von individuellen Taschen spezialisiert hat. Die Taschen gibt es auch in anderen Städten in diversen Shops(siehe Webseite). Fazit: Coole Taschen zu nicht ganz günstigen Preisen(wie bei allen handmade Taschen).
