Our Story

I'm Tracy Crisp the new owner of The Indie Stitches Emporium. Sewing, knitting and stitching have always been part of my life, and now I'm living my dream of creating an old-fashioned haberdashery (but with a modern, online twist).

"What is not to love about making your own clothes or handmade gifts for friends?"

It's a way to say no to fast fashion, and no to bland corporations. It's a chance to slow down and lose yourself in the meditative process. It's an opportunity to create something that is truly one of kind, that makes you feel good every time you wear it and someone asks 'did you make that?' 

"When I'm stocking the shelves of The Indie Stitches Emporium I look for small businesses and independent designers who share my approach to life, who are thinking about the ways we live and the choices we make."

My focus is on well-made tools that are lovely to use and that help you achieve a beautiful result. 

Whether you're just getting started or you've been sewing for years, The Indie Stitches Emporium is a treasure trove of indie patterns, magical notions and practical tools for people who love sewing and stitching.

Thanks for visiting, it's great to have you here!
