"Outstanding! Simply gorgeous display of everything you could ever dream of. And more! So far removed from the dusty old haberdashery shops of yesteryear. I only went in to have a dress altered, but there's enough there to get anyone enthused with sewing and craft. Fabulous engaging staff and all sorts of workshops to try. A real gem in Hereford."
