About Us
Hello, fellow fabric fanatics and sewing savants! If you’ve ever found yourself tangled in a web of thread (and not the kind that comes with a spider), you’ve landed in the right spot. Here at Turtle Bay Textiles, we’re all about sewing shenanigans, and we’ve got a little something for everyone—from the needle-novice to the fabric-fanatic! We’re a quirky little haven for all you crafty folks out there— We’re here to help you unleash your inner Picasso (or should we say, “Sew-casso”?).
Our founder, Sophie, had a lightbulb moment after a health scare that made her realize life’s too short for boring jobs and bad vibes. So, she traded in her corporate cubicle for a cosy crafting corner and opened Turtle Bay Textiles in 2024. Now, she’s on a mission to share the joy of sewing with everyone—because nothing says “therapy” like a good ol’ fabric stash!
And then there’s Becca, our resident know-it-all (but in the best way possible). She tackles every project with the enthusiasm of a puppy in a room full of tennis balls. Got a problem? Becca’s got a solution (or at least a funny story to distract you while we figure it out).
Together, we’re all about creating a safe space for crafters of all ages and skill levels—so bring your makes for show and tell, and let’s celebrate the magic of creativity!
Let’s talk workshops, shall we? Whether you’re a beginner who can barely thread a needle (don’t worry, we’ve all been there) or a seasoned pro who can quilt with their eyes closed (not recommended, but hey, you do you), we’ve got workshops that’ll tickle your creative fancy! We even offer smaller projects to cleanse that crafty palate of yours—like a palate cleanser, but for your sewing machine. Yum!
Our Sewcial Sewing days are the perfect antidote to the lonely craft room blues. Picture this: you, surrounded by a gaggle of like-minded crafters, all buzzing with creativity like a hive of happy bees. It’s a crafting party where the only thing missing is a disco ball (but we’re working on that!).
And oh, the fabric! Our collection is as diverse as a box of chocolates. From quilting cottons that make your heart sing to dressmaking fabrics that’ll have you strutting down the runway (or at least to do the big shop), we’ve got it all. Need pleather for that edgy jacket? Check! Fur for those fabulous winter accessories? need to make a glamourous dress for that party? Double check! We even have fabric that’s perfect for family Christmas pyjamas—because who doesn’t want to match with their loved ones while sipping hot cocoa?
But wait, there’s more! Our Haberdashery is overflowing with notions and accessories that’ll make your project pop like confetti at a surprise party. Need a funky button or some snazzy thread? Elastic for a waistband? We’ve got you covered! It’s like a treasure chest for crafters, and you’re the pirate (or seamstress) who gets to dig in!
So, whether you’re looking to learn, create, or just hang out with fellow fabric enthusiasts, Turtlebay Textiles is your go-to destination. Come on down and let’s sew some memories together—because crafting is always better with a side of laughter and a sprinkle of fun!
We pride ourselves on our service (and our ability to make bad puns). So, come on down, let’s get sewing, and remember: in our world, every stitch counts!
