About Us

In 2004 a national award winning seamstress was struggling to find the haberdashery and sewing supplies she needed to enjoy her life long hobby. As a result, she worked together with her Son to establish Sew Essential and solve this problem for sewing enthusiasts everywhere.

Fast forward 17 years and Sew Essential now stock over 20,000 products for a wide range of disciplines including dressmaking, patchwork and quilting, soft furnishings, machine embroidery, needlecraft and more.

We've also grown our team but have always maintained the ethos the business was founded on - for sewers by sewers. Our passionate staff set us apart by being able to offer excellent before and after sales service because they love and use our products.
