Sew, Share & Inspire

This is a strange and lonely time we are all experiencing at the moment and we are all in the same boat with feeling on- top of the world one day and down in the dumps the next. And that is perfectly normal to feel that way. Keeping busy and talking to loved ones I have found is the best way to get through this.

Sewing is a fantastic hobby to have as you can wear what you have achieved. Beautiful, quality fabric brings so much joy and inspiration- an excited feeling when you find that perfect fabric.

I am receiving so many pictures of what you are making during this on going lockdown and you are so inspirational so I thought I would share a few pictures with you.

I jumped out of bed this morning knowing that a very big delivery of lovely gorgeous winter weight fabrics will be waiting for me at the shop door on this fresh Monday morning. More boiled wool, more CUT&WEAR and lots more point roma jersey with beautiful colour tones and prints. Delivers are still coming to Stitch Fabrics of Wanstead as the warehouse is still a working process!!

Hopefully not for long…. the heating needs to be installed, a good spring clean and then we will be ready to start moving our fabrics into place. Fingers crossed this will take place  this week. Here are a few more pictures of our new and improved world of fabric!!

Lets start off the year with a lovely trip to Sherborne, Digby Hall & Library for a big fabric sale. Come and see a very large range of different types of dressmaking fabrics. Thursday 19th Jan 3pm- 7pm & Friday 20th Jan 10am- 3pm. We will be at the village hall for two days so spread the word M ROSENBERG & SON is back in Sherborne.

FAB17

The Warehouse FAB17 is taking shape… finally. It feels like forever since we started our warehouse adventure to welcome you into our fabric world. New floor, new lights, new shelves, new cutting table, new windows, new kitchen, new toilets and a new workshop space will be ready to you all very very soon. I am counting down the days when all the workman are gone, there isn’t a tool in sight and not one speck of dust left. The warehouse will soon be filled with fabrics, colour, pattern, mannequins, garments, inspiration, plants & flowers, workshops and hopefully all of you!! My Brother Andrew has been absolutly amazing during the warehouse build and has been an extra pair of hands that we would be lost without. A big thank you to Andrew for doing the impossible and practically building and decorating the warehouse himself. We are a family business and cannot wait till you all see our very own fabric world.

I must apologise for the lack of fabric on the website at the moment. Lots of our fabric is in storage due to the move into the warehouse. Once We are all moved in and settled my main aim is to get that website up and running with clear pictures of how the fabric moves and drapes also followed by an exact description of the cloth. Keep an eye out on the Sale section too.

Please see below an update of what the warehouse FAB17 looks like today!!!

Welcome to the world of colour, texture, and quality dressmaking fabrics. We take over the entire village hall with different types of fabrics so prepare to be inspired. It is free to get in and children and dogs are welcome. Texture Garden also join us with their amazing range of buttons & trimmings. We have such a large selection of dressmaking fabrics have your patterns at the ready. Please come early to avoid the queue!!!!

FAB17 is taking shape and I cannot wait to show you all where we are now. We have come along way and I can see the finish line in the distance!!! We are leaving our beautiful quintessential Edwardian building in Wanstead that has been home to Stitch Fabrics for almost 5 years and we are re locating into a big 1940s art deco warehouse. The move has been inspired by all you dressmakers and everyone creative. We want you to enjoy your fabric shopping experience as much as your dressmaking – and a big space for you to be inspired for all your ideas, choices, and creative design is perfect for you to take your time and lose yourself in our entire range of unique fabrics.

For those of you who have no yet heard I AM SUPER EXCITED to in the very very near future introduce you all to FAB17. We are transferring our warehouse (which I have named FAB17 for reasons which will make sense hopefully soon) into a showroom, shop, studio, workspace, and home full of hundreds and hundreds of quality fabrics. New floor, new piped shelving, new toilets, new doors, new kitchen, new workshop space and lots of never before seen fabrics.

We are moving from Wanstead High Street (which we just adore) to not far at all to South Woodford. We are moving to Raven Road which is just off Charlie Browns Roundabout. When we are all moved in I will give you our full address, a map, and lots of different transport options for you all.

The move from the shop to the warehouse has always been a project that was going to take place- it was just finding the right time for us to take on this monster of a project. We are two-ish weeks into the building work and I have successfully managed to lay a tile down in the new bathroom (I will be showing you all my handy work when you come to the warehouse). The move is a great opportunity for our business to grow and continue on the M Rosenberg & Son name. We have been a family business for over 60 years and I just wish my amazing grandparents (who rocked the fabric world) were here today to see how far we have come.

Watch out online fabric shoppers- my website is about to grow and expand very quickly. Once the move is complete and we are all settled in the warehouse, my mission is to create a special and unique online shopping experience. We have hundred of new fabrics passing in and out of our warehouse weekly and I will be snapping up as many fabrics as I can so the online shoppers can have a fantastic shopping experience. New fabrics will be uploaded to the website daily so keep an eye out!!

For all you creative souls out there my workshop space (which I am designing now) will be ready and waiting for you to come and get creative. I am sorting out lots of different types of workshops for all different types of people. There will be a workshop for everyone and a level for everyone, but most of all you will feel relaxed in an enjoyable environment with mind like people creating unique and inspiring garments and crafts.

Stumble across us, book in a group visit, come and have a nose and get involved. We are opening the doors to you, to come in, and visit what my family and I are all about. We have been brought up with a passion and love of quality dress fabric and we hope you enjoy our warehouse experience.

I will be in touch to let you all know how the builders are getting on and how our vision is planning out. In the mean time Stitch Fabrics of Wanstead is open weekdays 10.00am- 5.30pm Saturday 10.00am- 4.00pm.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like more information.

I would like to leave you with just a few pictures of this weeks warehouse events.

Love Jenni
