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.

The Sewing Barn has everything, beautiful surroundings, a great haberdashery with stunning fabrics and of course the expertise of Carol.

Liz (Ashbourne)

Carol made some roman blinds when I moved house and I’m delighted with them. Great advice about colour and style, very friendly but professional. Bought my lovely fabric from her too very competitive price and fabric I haven’t seen anywhere else. Highly recommend

If you have always wanted to learn how to do free motion embroidery then go to one of Carol’s classes. I couldn’t believe how quickly I got the hang of it. Now know how to set up machine, use threads in different ways and lots more. Thanks for a great day

Anne (beginner’s patchwork and quilting)

The small classes mean we get all the help we need. The workshop is lovely well equipped and spacious.

I went to the Sewing Barn as a complete beginner and thought it would be ages until I would be able to make an actual finished item. However, in the first session, I made an elasticated waist skirt for my daughter. I learned how to make a french seam!! made a channel for elastic and hem a skirt. I was so pleased. The Sewing Barn has plenty of space with large worktables and I used one of the sewing machines available for customers to use. Thank you, Carol.

I went to one of the animal applique classes and thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn’t finish my hare completely so went back to one of the weekly classes to finish off. Didn’t know 6 hours could go so quickly
