What our customers say

★★★★★

What a find. A great little fabric shop on my doorstep. And Sew We Begin is crammed with a fantastic range of quilting fabrics!

I would highly recommend a visit to 'And Sew we Begin'. I left with fabric under my arm excited by a new project.

★★★★★

Popped in here whilst visiting Newmarket, and what a gem of a shop. Nice assortment of fabrics and other habby items as well as some stunning wool ranges. The owner was really friendly and helpful, and had some fun looking workshops too!
