Who's Behind Oakapple Haberdashery? About me

I'm Ellie, owner of Oakapple Haberdashery. You can find me in The Palace Hub, right on the seafront in Redcar, Cleveland. I have a studio rather than a shop, so there are not regular opening hours, but if you're passing just pop in and ask the receptionist if I'm in. I can also arrange to be in at certain times if you email me.

  • Fabric Pricing

    Fabric is priced by the fat quarter, but always be sent in one length, so just add up the fat quarters for the total you would like. All fabric is 100% cotton.

  • Sewcial Days

    Sewcial Days are just for you to bring your own projects and sit and chat as you sew. Tea/coffee and use of equipment is included in the price. If you would like to arrange for a group to come in I can accomodate up to 4 people and I'm happy to arrange a date to suit.

  • Sustainability

    I'm working towards being a sustainable company, so I use cardboard packaging as much as possible, and I reuse packaging when I can, e.g. bubble wrap or packing peanuts. I recycle as much rubbish as I can within Redcar Council's recycling policy.
