Sewing Cabinets

The Taylor Made sewing cabinets have arrived! These fab tables let you keep your sewing machine and tools all set up - and you can close the whole thing up and have a tidy cabinet. The machine sits on a special platform that sinks into the cabinet when you're not sewing, and each cabinet has handy drawers/shelves/storage for your tools and threads. No more taking over the dining room table with your sewing projects!
Check out the different size options; the sewing cabinets come in 4 types and there is also a terrific cutting table for laying out pattern pieces, pinning quilts, etc.

Make a Wish Come True!

Craft Land and Brother joined together to make the wish of 14-year old Emirati Fatima Qambar come true. Fatima suffers from a rare disease, but doesn't let that get in the way of her dream - to make beautiful embroideries. But she missed something...a machine to make them on!


Soichi Murakami, Managing Director Brother Middle East (left) presents 14-year old Fatima Qambar (centre) with her wish. Anu Das (right) of Make a Wish UAE gives thanks.

Make a Wish UAE contacted us to see if we could help. Brother kindly donated a wondering sewing and embroidery machine and craft land donated threads, stabiliser and lessons to get Fatima on her way to making the embroideries she dreams of.

Fatima - we wish you all the best - and we look forward to seeing your creations!

And the winner is...!

Quilt Art 2012 was a wonderful display of locally crafted quilts. Thank you to everyone who took part. To view all of the quilts that were on display - head to our facebook page:
