Jaylaurs Sewing Studios to celebrate 40th anniversary with event featuring celebrity sewing guests

Jaylaurs Sewing Studios is inviting all customers, old and new, to celebrate its 40th anniversary of trading in Brigg on Saturday 23rd November.

Whether you like to sew and craft or prefer to let Jaylaurs Sewing Studios do the sewing for you, be the first to view their wonderful new spaces.

A special event will welcome celebrity sewing guests, offer goody bags or alteration discount vouchers to the first 30 customers, and offer 15% off metered fabric and 15% off alterations (23rd November only).

A spokesperson for Jaylaurs Sewing Studios said: “Through challenges and successes, and the amazing support of the local community, Jaylaurs Sewing Studios would like to thank you all for your loyalty and consistent support over the last 40 years. Our customers have enabled us to grow and become the business we are today. From a humble, cold, wet and windy market stall in 1984 to our amazing new super spacious retail premises in 2024.”

Amongst the guests at the anniversary event will be Rebecca Grimbleby, who will be sharing her experiences as a finalist on the 2021 series of Great British Sewing Bee. Rebecca will be happy to answer questions and some of her wonderful creations will be on display.

Karen of Stitches by Karen Taylor will also be in attendance, with some of her garments on display. Jaylaurs Sewing Studios stocks fabulous patterns from Karen, who trained as a pattern cutter at ESMOD International in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2014 she moved to the UK, to Lincoln, and in 2015 started working towards creating Stitches by Karen Taylor. Karen has developed her own line of sewing patterns with the aim of providing well-fitting garments for all shapes and sizes.

Lucy Picksley, aka Sew Pretty Sew Mindful, is also a guest at the event. Jaylaurs Sewing Studios stocks Lucy’s amazing bag patterns and fabric collections. Specialising in bag making, Lucy is happy to chat and answer questions. The sewing pattern designer based in Gainsborough has made appearances on Sewing Street TV, runs The Creative Wellness Hub, and is a blogger for Craft Cotton Company.
