Why you should visit our Thornleigh Shop?

Hi, my name is Liuxin  (Leo-shin). We are innovative. We are unique. We are sharing. Our goal for the shop is a creative sewing centre: At the same time of focusing on fine quilt making by hand, we also create fun and simple quilts and by machine. We also include other sewing skills: dressmaking, design bags and many fun sewing projects. Even though our shop is only 60 sq meters, there are lots going on at our shop! With our innovative teaching using technology, you can learn everything at our shop, plus most cost effective. We are also easily accessed by train. Put us on your list when you are next in Sydney.

Excellent service:
Here at Thimblelady's Thornleigh Shop, we don't just stand behind the counter and charge money. We can answer your questions. If you have chosen a design, or tell Liuxin the design in your mind, she will be able to advice you the correct yardage and the minimum fabrics you need. She will also advice you to alter your design to save fabrics when you don't already know.

Unique fabrics: high quality cotton and silk :
Visit us at the shop often. We don't have thousands of bolts of fabrics. But out of our humble hundreds, everyone of them is a great power of one - Liuxin is selective, why not?! We are not only good at selecting high quality materials, but also selective in management: low overheads, therefore, good price! Cotton from $16/m and silk from $28/m.

That is why our fabrics kept changing. Some didn't even make their way to the shelf before they are sold out.

Come and feel the fabrics for yourself!
