Maeve’s Mission
DressFabrics.ie was an independent, Irish online fabric boutique from 2015 – 2021.
My mission has remained the same however and that is to promote sewing and dressmaking and make it accessible to as many people as possible.
We have an incredible wealth of information in our blog and our online sewing course. We are adding new content from January 2022 including blog posts to describe my sewing journey and new videos to extend our existing beginners sewing machine course.
