New Year New Us

We love Handmade

Hi all and here at Elizabeth Rose NI we hope that you have all had a fabulously festive Christmas and New Year, with your batteries recharged and are now ready for a new crafty year. I was looking forward to getting snowed in over the holidays with all my PDP (Part-done Projects) but Jack Frost did not comply.

We had hinted before Christmas that here at Elizabeth Rose we were planning a few little surprises for 2017 and beyond and now we can tell you all about them.

Firstly we are planning to expand our range of classes to include dressmaking. The popularity that our Sew Saturday event generated really made the decision easy but it has been putting everything into place. Our other classes will still be there so don’t panic.

We are also working on classes for the smaller sewer. A range of sewing classes for childen and teenagers. It means more seeing fun but on a smaller scale and we love promoting the sewing bug all around the ages.

Secondly, Charlene has agreed to do a vlog once a month. A Vlog is a short video allowing you the viewer to see what we have been talking about. These short videos means that she will be showing us all how to do everything from simple stitches in sewing, knitting or crocheting and even a tour of the shop.

Don’t be afraid of a vlog though. They are a very useful tool in learning new skills and stitches and it means that you can press pause and rewind and Charlene will not lose her voice. Win win!

Oh that is the other exciting piece of news – the shop is expanding. We will be re-jigging the layout of the shop so that we have room for all you lovely people and more stock! There will still be all your favourites and ours but with a few new additions.

We will be changing the website in line with all these alterations and also all the classes will be able to be booked through both the website or the shop.

To get you all excited for the new things coming in, we have to make some room and that can only mean one thing – A SALE!!!! We all love a wee bargain so over the next few weeks we will be reducing stock starting with the fabric.

Keep an eye out for more news on the classes, sale items and the shop revamp and we will see you soon
