Mansfield, Huge shop of haberdashery and fabrics in the town centre. Sewing machine supplier with regular demo days and discounts. Also servicing of machines. Classes are taught here in the upstairs room. Sewing surgery is the first Saturday of the month there are regular overlocker classes and pattern alteration classes too.
PDF pattern suppliers- there's a great choice in PDF patterns theses days and these are some of my favourites, I hate the sticking together business so I usually send them to a printers to be printed on A0, then just read the instructions on my laptop, no need to print anything.
