Welcome to Escape and Create!

We're a fabric shop, haberdashery and sewing school based in the beautiful market town of St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

We stock modern prints for dressmakers and quilters with ranges from Moda, Makower, Ruby Star, Art Gallery and many more! We stock patterns by Burda, McCalls and New Look plus a huge range of independent patterns.

We teach a huge range of classes too.
