Haberdashery FAQ

What is the meaning of haberdashery?

Haberdashery is a collective name for any type of small sewing item. The term has been recorded back as far as the 14th Century, when it made an appearance in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. A "Haberdasher" was a peddler or a person who sold small items such as needles and buttons. These days, the haberdashery section includes all sorts of things that you may need in the course of sewing or crafting including glues, garment cleaning products and much more.

What should I include in a sewing kit?

Spotlight has a selection of sewing kits as part of our haberdashery range, and are a great starting point for gathering all your sewing essentials. A basic sewing kit should include sewing threads in neutral tones, hand-sewing needles, thread snips, dressmaking scissors, a quick unpick and a measuring tape. You can also add an assortment of elastics, press studs, and garment repair items such as iron-on mending patches to cover all your needs.

If you have a sewing machine, be sure to also keep a stash of machine sewing needles to hand, as well as bobbins and paper craft scissors for cutting out your paper sewing patterns.

How can I keep my haberdashery organised?

If you're a sewing enthusiast, your haberdashery collection can start getting quite large! To keep haberdashery organised, grab a sewing basket, plastic storage tray, sewing tool box or sewing caddy to keep everything in its place. To create a nice display, a bobbin rack, shelf system or stand are great options.

You can shop a huge array of sewing storage and organisation at Spotlight which will help you create a systematic sewing set-up. Pop all your haberdashery in one of Spotlight's charming sewing baskets to keep everything neat and organised!
