Surviving Lockdown

Surviving Lockdown

  We hope that you're all keeping well and safe and adjusting to our new, strange world. So much has changed so quickly, we have been saddened by the closure of our Islington shop and the postponement of our classes but we thoroughly support government measures to protect everyone's health. Under the new regulations we can still take online orders but please be patient as we observe safe working practices, things might take a little longer than usual. We will be using a standard UK shipping service, unfortunately we cannot offer an express delivery service or send international orders. If you have booked onto classes that have been postponed and have already agreed to wait for rescheduling, we want to sincerely thank you for being so understanding. We are extremely appreciative of your ongoing support and we’re confident that, thanks to our loyal and generous customers, we will be able to see this through. These are very difficult times for many people and many small businesses. If you would like to help to ensure we can continue to run the business we have worked so hard to build, and offer the service we have brought to you for just over 10 years, then please, if you can, BUY A VOUCHER* to put towards a class or items in the shop.  Our shop is bursting at the seams with fabric and sewing supplies and when we open our doors again we’ll have plenty to offer! Sending love and best wishes to you all, be happy in #isewlation, and we can't wait to see you on the other side. Ray Stitch XXX *all existing and new vouchers will have an extended deadline of 1 additional year.
