What a year it has been! 2020 is one for the history books, especially for Melann’s. The team at Melann’s have been working hard to produce new ideas
for workshops and create a safe environment every-time you visit.
We would love to say a big thank you to everyone who visited this year and joined in our workshops. Let us not take for granted group gatherings and being able to purchase machines and haberdasheries from your local, small sewing shop.
Gear up for Summer and Christmas with fabrics from Melann’s! We have a lovely range of dressmaking linens and cottons and a choice of stockings, advent calendars and Christmas themed wall hangers. We will remain open until 12pm on Christmas Eve so you have time for all your last-minute shopping before the holidays.
Happy Sewing and we hope to see you in store soon!From the team at Melann’s

New products
100% cotton printsOur team is always looking for colourful cotton prints to add to our collection. A few Kaffe Fassett, Tula Pink and Anne Marie Horner fabrics have worked their way onto our shelves. We try our best to keep a range of printed solids which co-ordinate well with the prints so you can easily choose matching fabrics to make creative projects.
JANUARY - JUNE 2021
Since Melann’s re-opened classes in July 2020, we noticed a generous influx of bookings. It has been a little tricky to fit everyone in, therefore we have made the decision to add:- 2x Random Quilty Bits classes per month (instead of 1x)- 2x Basic Overlocking per planner (instead of 1x)- A repeat of Basic Ruler Quilting (filling up fast!) Check the calendar for dates
