Sew Essential

Founded in 2004 by a nationally recognised, award-winning seamstress who was struggling to find the necessary high-quality haberdashery and sewing supplies for her lifelong hobby, Sew Essential was established in collaboration with her son. Their mission was clear: to provide a comprehensive source for all sewing needs, making it easier for sewing enthusiasts everywhere to find what they need. Almost two decades later, Sew Essential has become a treasure trove for the sewing community, boasting an expansive catalogue of over 20,000 products. Our range includes everything from dressmaking, patchwork, and quilting essentials to specialised supplies for soft furnishings, machine embroidery, and various forms of needlecraft. As our product range has expanded, so has our team. We've been careful to nurture the founding ethos that Sew Essential was built on: creating a company 'for sewers, by sewers.' Our knowledgeable staff, all passionate sewers themselves, truly set us apart. They provide unparalleled before and after-sales service fueled by their genuine love for and understanding of our products. At Sew Essential, we remain dedicated to upholding the high service and product selection standards that have defined our company from the beginning. We continue to strive to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of our diverse customer base, ensuring every interaction with us is informative, helpful, and inspiring.
