The Shop

This is one of my favourite items in the shop because it saves so much time. When I sweep up after a workshop I then run this over the pile of thread and scrap that has fallen to the floor and hey presto there are all my pins! I also use it when quilting so when I have finished stitching I slowly glide this over the quilt to make sure no pins have got caught up. The pins are not included in the purchase Learn More

There are so many different markers on the market but we have found this one to be the best and most versatile. Doesn’t matter what colour your fabric is because there is always a chalk to work with it. Great for all textile and dressmaking work. Depending on fabric it can be brushed or laundered out. Always test!! Learn More

Small things please great minds! I fell in love with this gadget when I found it at a trade show in Birmingham, well worth the drive! It is neat and simple. Because you are not storing in a cushion your needles will stay sharp longer. We are selling them with a full selection of needles. Learn More

This is a really good sketchbook which I have been using for years! Originally developed for the Eden project, the ECO uses the finest quality recycled cartridge and board. It is a fantastic quality paper and is brilliant with paint and highly versatile. Learn More

I think working with chalk in your sketch book is a great way of mark making as they are easy to blend. Just use a hairspray to fix! Learn More

There are many sizes of hoops but I think the 6” and the 9” are the most useful. The 9” is perfect for doing free hand machine embroidery with a frame and the 6” is perfect for hand embroidery. I always wrap mine with a fine cotton bandage so as to protect the fabric. So I have included one for you to do the same. Learn More

We think that this is the best on the market as you can really re-create your body size with the 12 adjusters. This will last you for years. Learn More

These gadgets make perfectly folded bias binding. The best thing about them is that the exit for the fabric is very shallow which means it makes the bias binding very accurately and easily. Another great product from Prym Available in three sizes Learn More

These are really lovely peg looms which I use to teach on in the peg loom workshop. They are excellent quality and will last a lifetime! Learn More

Really useful stuff for a quick fix! Aqua glue marker helps to position fabrics, trimmings, lace and zip fasteners without pins; adhesive is visible due to yellow colour and the colouring disappears when glue is dry. We are selling this with a refill. Learn More

I think this is the best make as it is soft enough to draw on the fabric without distorting and rubs or washes off easily of the vast majority of fabrics - Don't forget always test! Learn More

Oh these pins are delightful, a home sewer's dream, such a pleasure to use and the glass head means they don’t melt when you iron over them! Perfect to use with fine fabrics like silk Learn More

The curved edges of the Tailor's Ham conform to the body shapes in garments, making it ideal for pressing sleeve-heads, curved seams and shaping collars. It helps prevent seam turnings from showing when pressed. Learn More

When I started The Textile Space, Claire insisted that we have these for the dressmaking workshops and I have to say I now use it all the time even when not trying to dress make! It is very useful when ironing smaller objects and finer fabrics. Slips easily into sleeves and narrow garment sections for perfect pressing of long or difficult to reach seams. Excellent for pressing gathers and preventing seam edge imprint on cloth face. Learn More

Always good to have a replacement. Remember if your rotary cutter is snagging on your fabric it is because you need to replace the blade. Learn More

This is a lovely blade to play with! and creates a lovely wave for decorative work. Great for bunting and appliqué Learn More

Blade for our rotary cutter to give a pinked edge. It works with the 45mm Rotary cutter which we stock. Learn More

I came across these rulers when I first started as a beginner. There is a bit of magic which I am sure a mathematician could explain but simply put, the 6.5inch right angle means that you can continue that line and create a perfect square. It is an essential for patchwork and cushion making. It works brilliantly with the rotary cutter. Learn More

I have tried virtually every rotary cutter on the market and quite honestly if you are going to invest in one this is the best. It handles smoothly and has the safety clip. You can use it with the fantastic pinking and wave blades as well. Really comfortable to hold and much better than the straight handled ones available. Learn More

I’m stocking the biggest size of the mats because it is quite simply the most useful. Perfect for any work with a rotary cutter and will last years. A very worthwhile investment. We can order you a smaller size if you would prefer. Please contact us for prices. Learn More

Great when there just isn't time to make your own. This off the shelf bias binding is so handy for a multitude of sewing uses, piping, binding edges, hemming, trimming to name a few.
