Hello, and welcome to ZigZags Online. ZigZags Online is the website for ZigZags - a bricks and mortar shop in Newport, Shropshire. ZigZags has been open for over 15 years now, we are a pleasant, welcoming shop in a thriving, bustling market town and serve a vibrant crafting community (as well as providing essential haberdashery to Newport!)
ZigZags is run by a small team of enthusiastic staff headed up by Rose, the owner. Rose took over the shop in April 2022 to prevent it's closure meaning a change of career (and a leap of faith) from being a farm and equine vet - so far she is relishing using her creative skills and drawing on many years experience of sewing and crafting.
ZigZags is predominantly a quilting and patchwork shop with over 500 bolts of fabric in stock but we also stock dressmaking fabric, patterns, yarn, DMC threads, craft kits, fabric kits, haberdashery, ribbons and over 800 buttons. Not all of this is on our website quite yet as we've been quite busy serving customers!
Whilst continuing to offer a programme of 'traditional style' workshops (quilting, dressmaking, slow stitching, crochet, childrens etc) we have also recently launched our ZigZags Sewcial Circle following phase one of the revamp of our workshop area. The Sewcial Circle is an annual membership which allows you to book sessions to use our dedicated individual sewing workstations (equipped with Janome M50QDC, Oliso precision iron and pressmat) and access to the shared cutting station. It also allows you to book sessions to come and use the rest of the equipment including the APQS Lenni long arm quilter, Janome Horizon MC8200 QCP, Janome Overlocker, Accuquilt, ElectricQuilt design software We hope that this membership will organically grow into a vibrant community of sewers who enjoy meeting up to sew
We stock Moda, Makower, Lewis and Irene, Riley Blake, Robert Kauffman, Dashwood Studios, Sevenberry, DMC, Sirdar, Stylecraft, Wendy, West Yorkshire Spinners, Love from Beth, Corinne Lapierre, and Ann's Orchard amongst others.
