Retailers, especially independently owned stores a Retailers, especially independently owned stores are bearing the full brunt of this Pandemic. Last year we established the Stitch Directory! A dedicated online resource for businesses to promote their stores and online shops. The aim of the Stitch Directory is to support independent shops to help promote and support the uptake of crafting and the sale of craft supplies; highlight their existence and ultimately help them to attract new and returning business.⁠ ⁠ If you’re a business selling haberdashery supplies, craft suppliers, needles, buttons and machines then you can add your business to the directory. It’s completely FREE! ⁠ ⁠ We are doing our best to showcase businesses that join the directory. This includes social media posts to our 15k strong followers and the potential to be featured on our home page and across our site which attracts over 3k unique visits each month.⁠ ⁠ Gain extra exposure for you business now by adding your business.⁠ ⁠ Stitchers !

It’s early January and the festive frivolities a It’s early January and the festive frivolities already feel like a distant memory. Unfortunately, for all of us here in the UK and for many around the world, 2021 hasn’t exactly gotten off to the good start. ⁠ ⁠ However, with the gradual roll out of the vaccines, the government has reassured us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. But the potential impact on mental health is a very real concern which may be long lasting.⁠ ⁠ We've therefore pulled together a few resources (a stitch remedy if you like) to help everyone get through this lock down with the power of stitch. ⁠ ⁠ Find out how we're helping to support businesses and individuals through this incredibly difficult time. ⁠ ⁠ https://www.sofst.org/a-stitch-remedy-creative-resources/
