At the heart of Hastings' creativity

Our newest shop - built for a town with a serious creative streak. Everything Cloth Control does, in the heart of Hastings.

OUR TEAM

"Ask us anything. We'll give you a straight answer."
---
The Hastings team are professional seamstresses - people who spend their own time at the cutting table, who understand what a pattern actually asks of a fabric, and who will tell you honestly if something isn't right for your project.

Whether you're a confident dressmaker or picking up a machine for the first time, you'll get the same quality of guidance. Come with a vision, a pattern, or a question. We're here to help you make something you're proud of.

ABOUT THE SHOP

Hastings has always had a maker's soul - the kind of town where creativity runs alongside the tide. It felt like the natural place to bring Cloth Control next. Our Hastings shop is our newest, built up with everything we've learned from our years in Brighton.

The full range is here. Over one thousand fabrics - the largest selection available anywhere in Hastings - spanning the everyday and the exceptional. Indigo Hand Block Print from India, vibrant African Wax Cotton, hand-woven Ikat, yarn, haberdashery, linens, cottons, and more fabric than most people expect to find this side of London.

Being newer means the shelves are freshly considered. The layout is intuitive. The space is bright. And the stock reflects what we know people actually want to make - informed by years of conversations with sewers up and down the South Coast.

Hastings is a town that takes its makers seriously. So do we.
