Welcome to Threadquarters – Your Haven for Fabrics and Sewing Delights in Bangor, Northern Ireland!

At Threadquarters, we’re more than just an online fabric store; we are a vibrant community of sewing enthusiasts brought together by our shared love for creativity, craftsmanship, and all things fabric-related. Nestled in the heart of Bangor, Northern Ireland, our in-person sewing school offers a warm and inviting space for learners of all skill levels to come together and explore the wonderful world of sewing.

Our Story: Threadquarters was born out of a deep-seated passion for dressmaking and fabric. Suzie, the founder, caught the sewing bug in 2009 when her parents gifted her a sewing machine on her 29th birthday. From the moment she stitched her first piece, Suzie knew she had found her calling. Starting with small projects like bags and skirts, she soon ventured into the art of dressmaking, and her creativity knew no bounds.

After years of dreaming about sharing her love for sewing with others, Suzie finally took the leap to turn her vision into reality. Combining her expertise in sewing and her admiration for Ireland’s rich fabric history, she established Threadquarters – a haven where she could not only offer her knowledge through sewing lessons but also showcase the finest fabrics crafted on the island of Ireland.

Our Sewing School: At our charming studio located on Main Street in Bangor, Northern Ireland, you’ll find a nurturing environment where learners of all backgrounds can explore the art of sewing. Whether you’re a complete beginner eager to embark on your creative journey or an intermediate sewist looking to refine your skills, our sewing classes cater to all levels.

Led by Suzie and a team of experienced instructors, our sewing lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and empowering. From understanding sewing basics, mastering various stitching techniques, to creating stunning garments, we are committed to helping you unleash your inner sewing maestro.

We take pride in celebrating our local treasures, and you’ll find an exclusive collection of high-quality Irish Linens, captivating ex-designer Waxed Cottons, and more, all meticulously manufactured on the island.
