Sew Much Fun

Something told me the visit to this place was going to be interesting. But I wasn’t sure if would be interesting good or interesting bad. I mean, here’s a cute looking place in Primrose Hill so I can assume it has to be pretty cool, right? But then I look online to look for the hours opened and couldn’t find them. Actually, not much info can be found on the website. Anyhow, I called, figuring if the answer phone came on it would surely tell me the hours. Wrong. But because I was bored and desperate for some carbon pattern paper I headed out to find this place and hope it was open.
It was open, thankfully. And the owner and tween (yup, a tween) that served me were really sweet. But that place was a mess. I couldn’t wrap my head around where to look for what so I just asked for what I needed. When it came to paying there wasn’t enough change in the till and I had to wait until they ran next door to get some. So odd. Ain’t it odd? Maybe they were just opening but wouldn’t putting money in the till be the first priority?
Anyhow, I got my carbon paper and finally got to check this place out. But I am sad to say I won’t go back.

Great shop, beautiful fabrics and the owner’s broad knowledge base is simply amazing… She really wants to share her expertise and likes to help and this enthusiasm is so refreshing… She is not after a quick sell, but is really interested in getting people to enjoy their sewing.
I have also done a course and loved it!

Had great expectations when I enrolled for a course at ‘Sew Much Fun’. Yes, the shop is bright and you get a positive vibe from the aesthetics. However once the sewing course started, my initial enthusiasm was drained out of me by frequent disparaging comments made by the sewing instructor. Was left dispirited and disheartened by the experience. If you wish to learn to sew in an atmosphere where you will be inspired and encouraged, this is not the place for you.

This shop is quite unique, a pastel-​coloured modern haberdashery in the heart of Primrose Hill, catering for the expert dressmaker, the crafts person and the fashion student who wants to learn something practical. Downstairs, in fact, Roz Davies, the mind behind this innovative enterprise, runs courses at different levels: you can learn how to make your own clothes, handbags and soft furnishings — but there are also 1:1 courses ‘tailored’ to your specific requirements. And it’s guaranteed to be FUN!
