Independent sewing shop in Storrington

A lifelong love for crafting Stitch is an independent sewing shop in the lovely village of Storrington owned by Jan Hubbard. Established just over 3 years ago Stitch has weathered the Covid storms along with a few other curveballs along the way. There has been a sewing shop in Storrington village for over 20 years, and with the closure of one at the beginning of 2019 there was a gap that need to be filled. Jan has had a lifelong interest in crafting, sharing her skills at craft parties and a background in fabric retail, all of which she drew upon when starting the business. When not working, Jan loves swimming in the sea (all year round), kayaking, walking and just generally being outdoors in nature.

Over 500 craft and dress-making fabrics Stitch prides itself on customer service, and this sets them apart from the larger retail chains. All of the staff are very knowledgeable and passionate. They enjoy discussing projects with customers and offering advice and guidance. Alongside a range of over 500 craft and dressmaking fabrics, the shop stocks a wide selection of haberdashery, ribbons, buttons and books. You can also find craft and cross stitch kits and dressmaking patterns from a number of independent designers, many of whom are UK based. Workshops and lessons Regular dressmaking workshops prove very popular with customers, many returning again & again to enhance and grow their skills. Also on offer are one to one lessons to learn how to use a sewing machine, this is perfect if you are new to sewing or a rusty returner!

Bespoke jewellery as unique as you are, crafted in Ditchling

A new lease of life for unworn precious metals Redesign your old jewellery into something special with Pruden and Smith’s Creative Director, Rebecca Smith, who has 30 years experience in working with precious metals and gemstones. If you have got an old piece of jewellery that’s no longer worn - perhaps it’s no longer your style, doesn’t fit, or it’s damaged - Pruden and Smith’s redesign service is a cost-effective, creative and ethical way to bring new life into your precious metals and gemstones. Pruden and Smith client, Deborah Barton, describes her new ring as “unique and so special, something that nobody else in the world has got”. More than just a beautiful ring, having been made from jewellery she inherited from her mother, her aunt, and grandmother, it also holds the memory of her family. What to expect at a design appointment Bring your old jewellery to discuss its sentimental value and test the quality of the metals and gemstones. Rebecca will help you explore ideas for redesign, using her expertise to create an authentic piece that expresses your identity.

During your appointment take a free Workshop Tour to gain insight into the world of a contemporary jeweller. You’ll also learn about Pruden and Smith’s heritage and connection with the Arts and Crafts history of the village of Ditchling. Following your appointment, you will be sent a quote containing designs and pricing options. When you feel ready to proceed, your bespoke jewellery will be handmade by the expert team at Pruden and Smith’s Ditchling Workshop.
