A Christmas must-visit shop if you have children, like dressmaking, crafting or simply appreciate a lovely family-run shop. There's free parking in the main Wigston town car park behind and granted, the shop is in a dingy old precinct but what a find! Lovely Janet who runs the shop makes colourful babies and children's clothes which are fun and attractive - with a range of interesting colours and designs, from Babygros to coats for 10-year-olds. Presumably, you could also have items made in your choice of fabric from the wide range in the shop. There's wool, craft kits, haberdashery, fat quarters, fabric and accessories all on sale, with plenty of Christmas gifts and outfits for the little ones. I received a warm welcome and a Christmas goody bag with a discount voucher. Discovered by accident, this shop would do amazing trade if it were on Queen's Road in Clarendon Park ... but here in Wigston, the parking is easier, and the prices are very reasonable, so now you know!

This is a small family business that sells fabrics and hand knitted babywear. The handmade products are absolutely beautiful, and the choice of fabrics is good and the lady that runs it is really nice.
