Oakapple Haberdashery

Updates on Summer Sale orders
Wow! Thank you everyone for your orders - I'm working hard to get them out as fast as I can.
I'll work through them in the order they came in, just in case there are any stock issues.
In the meantime, you can still hunt for a bargain in my sale section.

Just arrived!
New in this week is this lovely collection from premium brand 3 Wishes.
It's lovely nostalgic look back at Christmas time - it reminds me of wrapping paper when I was a child!
There's strip print, a main print and three non directional prints. You can also buy a fat quarter bundle of the five prints together.

Elizabeth Hartman Patterns now in stock
I love these cute patterns - and there's no paper piecing invilved with these, it alll pathwork, and most of them are reasonably beginner friendly. Each has an option for quilts of different sizes and a cushion pattern.
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.

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.
