The studio is located just off 401 near West Lorne. The location is centrally located so that driving from London, St.Thomas, Windsor and Leamington is only a 35 to 90 minute drive.

The shop and studio are located on the first floor. While I'm sorry to say it is not  wheel chair accessible, there are only 3 steps and there are sturdy hand rails.

The Business

The business began in 1991 when I started selling Pfaff sewing machines & sergers with the Direct Sales Network. I would go to your home to sell and teach.

That changed as my business expanded to the shop and studio.  A renovation enlarged and moved the studio in 2008. As the embroidery machines became larger and heavier the working space for class had to be changed to what is now an open and bright studio.

Who We Are

As the name suggests, Heather Bell is the owner and operator of the shop and studio. Her sewing knowledge is self taught with years of workshops.

Cherie Bowering is a West Lorne orchard owner by day, and a textile designer by night and in the non-farming seasons. She teaches felt making and embellishment classes and has a beautiful line of felt available in the studio. 

DiAnnne Dowling is an accountant who attempts to keep the studio organized as she works part time here. She is currently learning  fitting skills for garment makers.
