The Sewing Barn shop

A wonderful sewing experience

Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Carol and I'm the proud owner of The Sewing Barn.  I opened The Sewing Barn in June 2013 after a career in teaching/ managing in Further Education. My love of both teaching and sewing was the reason for taking the plunge and start the search for the perfect setting to combine my skills and passions.
 
The Sewing Barn is a two-storey building set in a courtyard. The buildings were previously farm outbuildings which have been converted to provide characterful premises for a number of small businesses.
Set in lovely countryside approximately 4 miles from the beautiful town of Ashbourne, on the A52, the location is ideal for spending time sewing which includes patchwork and quilting, soft furnishings or one of the many special one-off days such as free-motion machine embroidery, raw edge applique or seasonal workshops. There is plenty of free parking space.
 
Call in and browse the growing collection of beautiful fabrics, Lynette Anderson, Lewis and Irene, Benartex, Japanese fabrics, to name a few.,sewing accessories, including Mettler threads, books, wadding quilting patterns and selection of gifts available - textile art, cushions, handbags and much more.
