Stitch Cottage

A cozy sewing cottage where small things are stitched together.

Stitch Cottage is an open weaving studio with a visible loom and a cloth taking shape in the window, with a threaded needle, a pocketed shirt and a spool of thread.

The little story

Stitch Cottage

Stitch Cottage is a snug little sewing house with a shirt hung up to be finished, a spool of thread by the door and a needle that seems to have been mid-sentence for days. It is the kind of place that mends things.

Stitch is the seam keeper. Stitch keeps the thread untangled and is extremely serious about the final stitch, which, according to Stitch, should look a little like a small star. Nobody has argued the point.

Come in when something needs fixing, or when you want to make something soft to land in. The cottage has room for your work and your craft, one neat stitch at a time.
