Sew Cafe wishes you all a safe and enjoyable bank holiday weekend. Remember that bank holiday weekends are the most dangerous on the road, so drive carefully.

It's time to start thinking about preparing for the new school year. With that in mind, I am giving a 10% discount on all school uniform alterations and repairs from now until September 9th. I will also make school badges to order.

More new stock arrived today, including high-quality threads, lace, beads, decorations and elastic. Our prices match those in Limerick and in many cases are better.

During the week I've taken delivery of new materials for fascinator making, so I'm fully stocked again. Remember to allow up to three weeks for custom made orders, as this is a very busy time of the year. I also undertake repairs and upcycling of fascinators and hats.

More new stock has arrived today and we will continue to extend our range into the future. Among the items just arrived are lingerie tape, bra extenders and lace. Other items are on order and should arrive in the next few days.

Get those School Uniform alterations and repairs done before you go on holidays and have one major job already out of the way when you come back. Call in and get 10% discount on all school alterations and repairs. I also embroider school emblems, direct to the uniform or to a sew on badge.

I'll be at Newcastle West Show on Sunday to present the prize to the Best Dressed Lady, which I am sponsoring and I'm looking forward to seeing all the great style there. Judging will be between 2 and 3 pm, so make sure you are there on time to be in with a chance to win.

Have you a dress, jeans or another item of clothing that you loved but don't wear anymore and just can't throw it away. Why not bring it up to me and upcycle it. I can reinvigorate any garment, making it look new and fresh, so that you can enjoy it for longer.

I am very busy with orders for fascinators at present. If you want one made to order please give me three weeks notice or more. If I have to order material to suit your colours, it will require two weeks alone.

I am sponsoring the Best Dressed Lady at Newcastle West Show again this year. It's great to be associated with this local event and I wish them every success. The show is on next Sunday, 16th July and judging will be between 2 and 3 pm.

Many parents will be stocking up on items of haberdashery for their children's classes in September. Why not call in and see our range. In the unlikely event of us not having what you are looking for we can order it for you. Our prices match those in Limerick and in many cases are better.
