We recently used Karen Delahunty Sewing and Knitting Centre to have my mother-in-law's old sewing machine serviced and I can't recommend this shop highly enough.

Great service and advice, so nice to be in a fabric shop again and Karen was very friendly, I was only buying a zip but she gave me lots of help and advice on fitting it. Will definitely be returning.

After searching online for months for wool to finish a project I finally managed to find it here and I am over the moon! The service was quick and it arrived in a matter of days. It was also lovely as Karen had included a personal thank you and two lovely crocheted hearts curtesy of @takeheartxo
