... for the love of sewing!
Romy’s Sewing Rooms opened in May 2015, when owner Rosemary Murray decided to give up her full-time job and pursue her dream of teaching others to sew.
Rosemary is now running the increasingly popular haberdashery in Dumfries, as well as fulfilling demand for sewing classes and sharing her knowledge, skills and expertise with her customers.
Located on Irish Street in the small rural town of Dumfries in south west Scotland, Romy’s Sewing Rooms is an inviting haven for everyone interested in fabrics and sewing.
The well-stocked shop at ground level displays a fantastic range of quality fabrics from leading manufacturers including Lady McIroy, Fabric Freedom, Nutex, Viscount and Jane Makower as well as Berisfords ribbons, bows and trimmings.
With new stock arriving all the time it’s always worth popping in to find out what’s new and to start thinking about your next project (or to buy your favourite fabric to increase your stash!)
In the basement you’ll find a surprising light and airy purpose built sewing room with eight work stations set up with sewing machines and supplies for customers to use for their sewing projects or during sewing classes.
The tastefully decorated sewing room is bound to inspire anyone looking to enhance their sewing skills and express their creativity.
As well as the light, bright and creative environment and quality tools you need to get going you’ll also find Rosemary waiting to help you with your project, teach you new skills or just encourage you to keep going!
General sewing classes allow customers to bring along their own sewing project and benefit from either one-to-one or small group support and guidance from Romy as required.
Customers have access of a work station including a sewing machine during each class. These classes are ideal for anyone who is already working on a project and who is looking for support and occasional guidance and who are keen to benefit from the social interaction and engagement with others while they work on their project.
