Vintage sewing machine mugs from Lori Holt

I'm so excited about these gorgeous Lori Holt mugs. They're described as tin mugs but they are what I'd describe as enamel. These would be a brilliant little present choice if you're in need of a sewing group Secret Santa gift -or to be honest, a little reat for yourself!

Who's Behind Oakapple Haberdashery? About me

I'm Ellie, owner of Oakapple Haberdashery. You can find me at The St Hilda’s Business Centre, Whitby YO22 4ET, 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. There’s free parking for customers. 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.

    It's done this way because the majority of my customers are quilters and crafters and like to be able to purchase smaller amounts.

  • Visit my studio

    You're very welcome to pop in! I don't keep regular shop hours because I'm often away at Quilt Shows, so please check before making a special visit.

    You can find me at St Hilda's Business Centre, The Ropery, Whitby, YO22 4ET

    There is free customer parking.

  • 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 - look out for my labels!

    I do occaisionally use plastic mailing bags, I have found some that can be recycled.
