We cannot wait to see you in 2023 in our new premises just around the corner at 2 Hazelwood Lane, Palmers Green. We moved all our stuff in yesterday and I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to all my amazing team at Stitch yesterday for their hard work. And to some of our younger family members too for helping us successfully move out of the Post Office, a space we helped build and create, called home for two years. It was hard graft 💪 but you all made it run smoothly and we are in and are very excited about revealing our new space in the new year. 

Thank you to all our customers and local community for all your support in the last year, we really appreciate it.
