Sew Confused Fabrics Opens Its Doors in Andover’s Chantry Centre

Laura Waters, age 43, opened a shop called Sew Confused Fabrics in Andover’s Chantry Centre. Laura worked hard for years. She cut fabric for happy customers. She said it felt exciting.

Opening the shop was nerve-wracking. She felt many different emotions that day. Laura lives close to Salisbury. She picked Andover for her store after researching locations for a year. She looked in Winchester, Warminster and Salisbury.

They chose Andover after research. Sew Confused Fabrics was first online. Customer feedback helped Laura decide. Strong sales also made her open a shop. Laura said customers wanted a shop, so that made her open it properly. She said the shop is what people wanted at 26 Chantry Way.

The shop opened February 8 at 9:30 AM. People waited outside before it opened! The first 30 got goodie bags. Shoppers liked the stock and prices.

Tricia Strong, 58, came with Tina Jones, 48. Both are from Andover. Tricia said fabrics are good quality and priced well. Tina has crafted about 20 years. She said the shop has good variety. Haberdashery was also a plus for Tina, and she liked her first impression.

Amy Robbins brought her family to the shop. She thinks Andover is good for crafting. Amy wants to make a dress, since online fabric can be hard to find.

Amy stated crafts are popular secretly. She added crafting shops do well here. Laura’s husband, Mark Waters, helped at the shop. He said it was her dream coming true. Mark, age 51, works at Ocado. He said Laura dreamed of this shop and has sewed for fifteen years. Opening a shop was her goal. Now she’s open in Andover!
