Our Story
The idea for La Stitcherie came from Heather's mother, Freda, who suggested it one day whilst watching Heather and Christine sewing and planning a business idea. It developed from their mutual love of fabric and creating beautiful and practical things.
Using recycled fabric for many of their projects allows them to keep costs down whilst being environmentally conscious. As both Heather and Christine love communicating and sharing ideas, the desire to teach and pass on their knowledge, skills and interests developed into the weekly workshops and classes for all levels.
Sewing is only one part of the business; social groups for knitting, crochet and embroidery are also available for all levels and interests. In an increasingly computerised world, Heather and Christine both like the idea of creating something with their hands and their imaginations.
