We will continue to provide hand sanitizer for you, and we ask that you practice social distancing whenever possible. We aim to have a maximum of four people in our studio at a time, but this may not always be possible for wedding fitting groups.

Please book all visits in advance so we can control the number of people in our studio and ensure your comfort at all times. To book your wedding dress fittings, quilt consultations (or collections), or sewing machine enquiries, please call us.

If you prefer not to visit our studio, we can still accept and return your quilts by post. Please call us if you would like more information on how to use this service.

Stay safe and well. We hope to see you soon.
