Yorkshire Born & Thread

Yorkshire Born & Thread Yorkshire Born & Thread are passionate about pattern cutting, sewing, crafting and making, basically anything creative! YB&T products coming soon....

We make all our products in our West Yorkshire based studio and where possible sourcing local or British made fabrics/haberdashery but still using some components sourced/made worldwide. Yorkshire Born & Thread (YB&T) was founded by Lisa Gilbert after spending time with fellow passionate sewists when teaching sewing workshops at a local fabric shop (Fabricate Roberttown). Seeing that the locals and so many more from further afield were really passionate to learn different skills, techniques for making their own creations, their need for new challenges & different projects to try. Yorkshire Born & Thread was... well I guess you could say BORN! Here at YB&T we want to share, pass on skills and knowledge giving you the confidence to achieve your creative desires and most of all making your own sewing experience's enjoyable!
