This month's introduction is from Sarah, who gets to play with all sorts of wonderful haberdashery through her delightful online store, Crafty Trimmings
As well as the fun variegated bobble trim used on my Infinity Scarf last month, Sarah stocks a great range of ribbons, lace, trims and embellishments.
From spots
To Sequins, Sarah has it covered!
And if you can't decide between Ric-Rac or Pompom, why not have both in one trim :)
Enough of the eye-candy, here's how Sarah came to be running Crafty Trimmings.
"I'm
a lover
of all things crafty and have been crafting for as long as I
can remember. I
was taught to knit by my granny at a very young age and learnt
to sew from my mum
who is a professional dressmaker. I can remember designing and
making dolls
clothes on one of those tiny Singer manual sewing machines
which I still
have!
When I can find
the time I enjoy
sewing, bag making, patchwork, crazy quilting, knitting,
felting, cross stitch,
jewellery making, silk and glass painting.
And of course my new full time hobby – sourcing and
buying fabulous
trimmings and embellishments for my business Crafty Trimmings
which I started
in 2011 when I decided to clear out my sewing room and sell
the surplus on
eBay.
I enjoyed
selling so much I opened
an eBay shop and turned my sewing room into a stock room! In 2014 I decided to
launch my own website
which stocks a lovely selection of lace trim and motifs, fancy
trimmings and
braids, ribbons, bias binding and embellishments.
Shipping is free on all
orders over £10 and I
also run a loyalty scheme to reward repeat customers."
So, there you have it, next time someone questions your stash, just tell them you are building up stock :)
Hi Fiona, Do you have a link to your shop on your blog or am I just being stupid????? Probably the latter. I'm still a bit dazed and confused after spending last week up in Manchester with Mum and Dad. Good luck with the new venture. I've a huge stockpile but there is always room for more.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous trimmings, may have to get some of these for my stash!
ReplyDeleteWhose life wouldn't be brightened with ric rac pompom trim? It's adorable --- and so are the polka dot ribbons - I've been slowly collecting as many pokie colours as I can find - I love it :)
ReplyDeleteLovely trims... I have fallen in love with Crafty Trimmings' beaded trim. They are so pretty! The site is very easy to use and I really like the graphics! I'm definitely going to have to build up on this kind of "stock"!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen pom pom ric rac before. Love it!!! Ha, ha... no one questions my stash.
