If you’re looking for unique fabrics and inspiring patterns for your next bag project, Little Stitcher Sews is a shop you need to know about. Run by Laura, this UK-based small business is an absolute treasure trove — packed with beautiful fabrics, brilliant paper patterns, and honestly, some of the best thread I’ve ever used.
✂️ Bag Making Fabrics You’ll Struggle to Find Elsewhere
One of the things I love about Laura’s shop is how well-curated her fabric range is. It’s not just the usual suspects — you’ll find:
Canvas and Corduroy – brilliant for giving your bags structure and texture
Vinyls – available in some lovely finishes that sew up beautifully
Cottons – including Rifle Paper Co. and Dashwood Studio, which always add a bit of class
Adhesive Ripstop – a really hard-to-find gem in the UK, great for lining or waterproof projects
She’s got a fab eye for fabric that works for bag making — not just pretty prints, but stuff that performs too.
🧵 My Go-To Bag Making Threads
I can’t talk about Little Stitcher Sews without mentioning the thread. It’s one of those things that can make or break a project, and Laura stocks thread I now use in loads of my bags. Strong, reliable, and available in gorgeous colours — I genuinely rate it. If you’ve watched any of my tutorials, chances are you’ve seen it in action!
🧩 Paper Patterns from Top Designers
Laura also partners with some amazing pattern designers to bring paper copies of their bag patterns to the UK. You’ll find favourites from:
Linds Handmade Designs
Noodlehead
Love You Sew
Two Stitches
Sewing-Sanctuary
Having paper patterns on hand makes life so much easier — no printing, no piecing, just grab your fabric and get stuck in.
Why I Keep Going Back to Little Stitcher Sews
What I love most about Little Stitcher Sews is how thoughtful the selection is. You can tell Laura’s a maker herself — everything she stocks feels useful, well-chosen, and exciting to work with. Whether you’re planning your next statement tote or a quick zip pouch, there’s something here to spark inspiration.
Go have a browse — but fair warning, your fabric stash might grow!
Until next time happy sewing and may your bobbin always be full
