So Long Slipstitch
Slipstitch will be closing its doors at the end of July 2025.
This does not spell the end of Slipstitch as an idea, a community, or a business.
As I came to this decision, the hardest part was considering what would happen to the people who have congregated around the shop. I have made so many friends through running this shop and I have no intention for that aspect to end just because we aren’t tied to one building.
I will be taking the summer off to look after myself and then returning in September with new ventures. I am planning to continue Meet and Make and Queer Craft, both in person and virtually. I will still be teaching. I will still be selling yarn and haberdashery online. I will still be doing shapeless instagram lives and writing silly newsletters.
I know this news will disappoint a lot of you.
There isn’t one simple reason for this decision but I feel in my bones that it is the right one. Craft is for everyone. Slipstitch is forever.
What’s next?
As of this moment, everything* is on sale. (*Okay, not my book or events. But everything else is.)
There are several active discount codes: SOLONG10, SOLONG20 and SOLONG30. The first gets you 10% off, the second 20% etc. You can use any or none and I wouldn’t list a 30% discount if I didn’t want you to use it. If you would like to help me recoup as much of my costs as possible, while still getting a bargain, the 10% discount is there.
Code SOLONG40 currently applies to threads only as we have literally thousands of them. 40% off all embroidery threads, sewing threads and tapestry wools.
All current classes, workshops, and socials are still going ahead.
Our opening hours are now Thursday to Saturday 10 till 5. Any changes will be advertised.
Please put Saturday 26th July in your diaries for Slipstitch’s going away party.
