Unprepossessing from the outside unless you are a fan of industrial architecture but once through the doors it's glorious fabrics galore. There are sections of dressmaking fabric, including patterns, lots and lots of upholstery fabric, strange fluorescent furry stuff for making strange fluorescent furry things (aliens?), sheer voiles for curtains and more more more! In my time I've been here to buy things to refurbish furniture, make fancy dress for the kids and our latest purchase is the complete kit for stitching our own ball gown - Vivienne Westwood is looking to her laurels!

They are also just plain accommodating and nice, while the ladies who come for the fortnightly quilters circles are just lovely.

Originally I quite enjoyed visiting the ramshackle but very well-stocked fabrics, haberdashery,…read moreembroidery and crafts side of Masons in Bath Street. Although somewhat time-consuming to work through on your own to find what you need - it has an old shop appeal to it that some can find charming, the items that I've wanted for general sewing, embroidery and craft projects have usually been handily in stock. However, I've always found the staff to be very intimidating to speak to; I've been glared at for asking a polite question or advice, I've been ignored queueing at the counter in a practically empty shop when staff have been chatting to each other and, generally, made to feel I was unwelcome or an annoyance to be put up with. I thought the adjoining crafts and embroidery shop had more approachable people, but even that has changed in recent months to being greeted with unsmiling demeanours and barely a word spoken. What I decided was my final visit to this shop was having one of the trainees/temporary staff that regularly change on the haberdashery and fabrics section serve me with all the bad attitude that a bored, inexperienced and unhappy teenager can muster. Much eye rolling and huffiness ensued as an older staff member deliberately walked off and left the trainee alone to serve. For some minor purchases this was an unnecessary, and really off-putting, performance. I like to buy locally and support businesses, even at higher prices than you can find elsewhere, but not when I'm repeatedly treated to terrible customer service. Especially when it is noticeable that some customers immediately receive much more help and attention. If you don't mind the varying levels of service and attitude, then Masons is worth visiting for its wide range of stock. If you prefer to be treated with at least minimal courtesy and helpfulness as standard, best look elsewhere.

Whilst this business has opted to carry a cheeky little name that may occasionally raise an eyebrow or two, they have definitely been upstaged, in the controversy stakes, by their immediate neighbours! In many other ways this is the ideal location for this old-style craft shop. It is surrounded by fabric stores, many of which are within a minutes walk from Crafty Sew and Sew, and with companies like Calico selling sewing machines, and Butterfly Fabrics carrying some fabulous materials, as well as some really large fabric stores with phenomenally extensive stock ranges like Fusion, Crafty Sew and Sew couldn't be in better company. All of these businesses support the fundamental drive behind Crafty Sew and Sew, offering patrons of the shop plentiful choice where fabrics are concerned. Crafty Sew and Sew offer a good range of craft items and ready-to-make kits of all descriptions. A visit to the shop is an inspiring experience, and the people that work there are only willing to help. If you are looking to take up a hobby, but are not sure of which direction to go in, I advise a trip to this little Pandora's Box of delights. The advice you will get will be invaluable, and the choices available are impressive, and cater to everyone's budgets.
