Agatha's Closet : A place for all things needlecraft.

Agatha's Closet have opened a new space at 45 Hyde Road, Paignton, Devon.

As a fashion and needlecraft project we needed a space that allowed us to develop a retail arm as well as spaces for workshops and events.

All of these spaces are available for hire either to run your own workshops or become part of our programme of work.

Agatha's Closet has a shop downstairs which is light and bright, the perfect space to showcase new, vintage, handmade and preloved clothing and accessories in our Dress Agency.

The first floor is home to our new Woollen Room and Sewing Studio. The Woollen room is a social space that allows people to come together in a comfortable environment to explore all elements of working with wool and fibre. Its here you will find The Hapy Hookers Club and Go Knit. Out the back we have To Dye For, a space where we will unpack the mysteries of turning fleece and fibres in their natural state into dyed yarn and fabrics.

The Sewing Studio is working towards becoming the first community sewing studio i the Bay. It contains everything a clothes designer could need to create new garments or revamp old ones. We have state of the art machines, older vintage ones and semi industrials. We have a stock of fabric to explore, pattern cutting tables and mannequins ot help you get the perfect fit.
