Dean Clough in Halifax becomes venue for sewing retreats with global appeal
Laura Casey of Sew Different selected Dean Clough in Halifax for a sewing retreat, taking over 1,000 sq ft of space on a flexible lease to house sewing workstations, fabrics, patterns, and social areas.
Established over 10 years ago, initially as a blog to share a passion for pattern design, Sew Different has grown to distribute individually designed clothing pattern packs all over the world with suppliers in Australia, Sweden, and USA.

She said: “Setting up the Sewing Retreat seemed like a natural step forward in making a largely solitary hobby into a social space where we can share ideas. The holiday package for up to 10 people includes a tour of our local fabric studios with step-by-step support from our team on sizing and design through to creating bespoke garments.
"We include afternoon tea in a warm and welcoming environment for all skill levels and overnight accommodation is available on site.”
