Oakapple Haberdashery
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2012
Hi, I'm Ellie and I run Oakapple Haberdashery, a fabric store for people who love quilting and crafting with bright colourful fabric and thread. See behind the scenes in my workspace at the Palace Hub and my Sewing Shed. Meet Dario Doblo, the brave little van who carries all my goodies to quilt shows around the country, and have a look at what I'm creating and sewing.
I'll also show you new fabrics and threads when they arrive at Oakapple HQ.
You might even get to meet Mr Oakapple, who draws out all the instructions for my projects, thanks to his work as a cartoonist.
I'll also try and show you around the various quilt and craft shows that I attend, and of course all the lovely fabrics and quilts on display at these events.
I hope you enjoy my channel, and I'd love to know what you think!

I do two craft fairs in 2 days over the weekend. It’s mid-November and the Christmas season for traders is getting going,
This video shows two small local craft fairs and my stall set up, as well as other traders’ stalls and scenes of the North Yorkshire countryside.
Will I get enough cups of tea? Always a worry !

A small business vlog about my trip to Duxford quilt festival at the Imperial War Museum in the Conservation Hall. I look around the air space though I’m not a great authority on planes!! But I do go underneath Concorde! After that I look around the quilt festival and discuss my feelings on the new venue. A mix of me talking and some music oh and some food!! #smallbusinessvlog #quiltfestival #c...

I was trading at this show, so I filmed bits around the times I wasn’t busy. See the exhibition hall first thing in the morning and have a look at a few more quilts. If you look closely there’s a brief guest appearance by my Dad. A mix of narrative and music, and an honest appraisal of how the show went at the end. #smallbusinessvlog #quiltfestival #craftfair #creativebusinessowner #quiltshow #...

Looks like you had a good weekend and that you finally managed to get a cuppa. My sister and I have a stall at our local village hall this Sunday so 🤞we do well. I absolutely love your new studio space, you must stare at that view for hours. You’re very lucky. Looking forward to your next vlog. Take care, Mel. X
Thank you Mel! I do love a village craft fair and I hope yours goes well too. Yes my view is incredible do literally stare at it all day!! Thank you for watching my vlogs xx
It was so lovely to meet you at Duxford on the Saturday. I always enjoy your vlogs because you’ve got a lovely little business but more importantly, you’ve got such a lovely warm nature. I really hope you go from strength to strength as you so deserve it. I loved all my purchases from you and I can’t wait to sew them up. Hopefully see you at Newmarket. Looking forward to your next vlog. Best wishes, Mel. Xx
Oh thank you! It was so lovely to meet you too, I’m always chuffed to bits when people tell me they watch my little vlogs ! Thank you for such kind comments, I really do appreciate them. See you at Newmarket 😊
Everything is looking great Ellie 🤩 Don’t forget to try to see Concord 👍
I missed Concorde!! But at least it’s because I was busy!
Gorgeous view ❤
Where is the show moving to? Will the museum use the space for more of their aircraft?
The show is moving to Newmarket for both spring and autumn quilts, yes I think the move is due to the museum having plans for the space but I don’t know what they are!
Nice to meet you on Saturday. I'm going to miss staying in Saffren Walden as well. My autumn weekend trip to Duxford has been a regular thing for years. Let's hope the new venue work out.
Yes I hope so, the customers seemed ok to travel there, I’ll be sad not to return to Duxford though, I always like a visit there 😊
Oh how lovely❤❤
Helpful video thank you but might have been helpful to incorporate a hanging loop.
Thank you, I do show you how to do a loop right at the end of the video but there isn’t one on the printed panel so I made it out of lining fabric 😊
I'm new to quilting and only made a couple of pillows so far. These beach huts look like a nice small project to practice with. Then, I am hoping to start on some Lori Holt projects. My son was supposed to be coming over to build some shelving units for my sewing corner, but just as he had the time, I got Shingles, and then I've had chickenpox twice. It's very rare, but trust me to be the one.
Oh no- hope you are on the mend but yes beach huts are a good starter project!
Thank you for taking the time to show us around. Gx
My pleasure 😊x
scenery around show is gorgeous. Bit far for me but thank you for a peek at it.
@@lesleywright9210it’s my favourite showground to visit it’s so beautiful 😊
I found it hard to get there from Wales on the Friday due to the flooding and road closures. Managed to buy far to much Lori Holt fabric from you though. 😊
@@katehodge6255 I'm glad you made it!! No such thing as too much Lori Holt fabric!!!
It was a fabulous show, and you had such lovely fabrics. Thanks for filming this it's nice to be able to revisit the exhibitions.
Thank you, I’m really pleased you like my fabrics, yes I love revisiting the shows too 😁
Was a lovely show, my daughter and I both enjoyed ourselves and we don’t even quilt! We both love embroidery and bought lots of lovely fabric scraps from you. ❤
Thank you! It was such a positive show and I hope the fabric bits will be useful!!😁
It was a lovely show, I picked up a couple of the poison, grey fat quarters from your lovely stall. Keeping as a gift for my friend. Hope to have the show return next year.
Looks like a great show to go to next year 👍 Thanks for the quick tour 👏👏🇬🇧
You’re welcome! It was such a lovely positive show and the grounds of the racecourse are beautiful 😀
Hello, the little engines you were seeing are called stationary engines, so called because they were used to power items like pumps but didn’t move themselves.
Ah ok that makes sense! I could see it was an engine but couldn’t make out what it would be for. They made a really nice sound though! Thank you for enlightening me!😊
Such a shame it wasn’t so profitable. Fingers crossed it will improve next year. Loved your shed x
I know, but hopefully it will grow next year now more people know it's there. I used to work from my shed but my husband has slowly taken it over!! xx
Love Lori Holt!
Me too! I’m such a fan girl. I’m excited for the new book in November 😃
Empty house is hard after having kids. But even worse is when they leave home. They don't come back for the holiday breaks. That's when you feel alone because you are. It's great when the grandkids come along, you become very busy again, especially school holidays when they want to come and live with you. ❤😊
Tbh I’m dreading that bit, but the grandkids bit will be nice 😊
Empty nest syndrome never leaves, it just just changes. Be you, be brave, and try to embrace this new chapter in your life.
It’s such a challenge, but the main thing is both my kids are happy 😃
Lovely little insight Ellie, thanks for sharing
Thank you! ☺️
Aw I used to visit here as a girl with my family, lots of lovely happy memories
It’s such a lovely place, I go every year
Sorry you didn’t do as well as you hoped. I think the ticket entry price to many shows has increased so much over the last few years that it’s putting people off coming. For example the knitting and stitching show is now £20 for a standard ticket plus car parking charges.I cannot justify that kind of cost for what is ultimately a large shopping event. It’s sad because eventually I imagine the shows will cease and small businesses such as yours will suffer. Keep smiling xxxxx
That is a factor, but this show I think was about £7/8 which is not bad. I think the charge is to cover the quilt exhibits as much as anything, and they are a lovely part of the show. This show had free parking but I know at the NEC parking is hugely expensive. I think if you don’t charge ticket prices you get increased footfall but not necessarily of your target customers,but I do appreciate the extra costs can put people off.
There’s no point doing a show if you aren’t going to make any money from it. It’s a lot of time and effort to put in. I’m sorry you didn’t make much from it. It didn’t look to be very busy. A change of venue needs to be well advertised and I’m signed up for the various quilt shows mailing list and only got one email about this show!
Yes I think you are correct, more could be done to advertise this show. I will do it again because it is so local for me, it’s always worth two goes ithink
Thanks very much for this review. I’m going to stay here next week.
You’re welcome, hope it goes well 😀
Your studio space looks amazing ❤
Thank you, I think I’m filling it up a bit too rapidly though! 😁
Your stall was lovely. I missed you when I was there and saw Mr Oakapple. I’m glad you had a good show, it was my first and I loved every minute of it.
Sorry I missed you, hope Mr Oakapple was helpful! I was probably off chatting 😀
You had such a beautiful stall as always, plenty of treats and finds for everyone 😊
Thank you, and it was lovely to see you 😀
Lots to see there and some lovely fabric.
I'm with you on the dove grey thread. Use it for almost everything!
I buy three times more of that than any other!
HI Ellie, I've arrived here at the NEC... Looking at the quilts WAW.. Hope to find your stand later. .. before I head to the quilts for care leavers stand 😍
Looking forward to seeing you next week at FofQ
Yes it will be lovely to see you too 😊
Thank you for sharing this video I wasn’t sure how to cut it up so checking first was a great help. Sewing four of these for my grandchildren this Christmas, a gorgeous panel and excellent quality fabric😊.
Glad it was helpful! It’s a lovely calendar, lucky grandchildren! 😁
Ahh the famous puddle 🤣. What a wet but fabulous day. Loved spending the day with you. Looking forward to more xx
I grew very fond of that puddle!! Xx
@@oakapplehaberdashery 🤣 x
Everything looks beautiful ❤
It was! Such a happy day, I really enjoyed it 🌳🪴
I'm sure to come and visit your stand. Good luck 🍀
Thank you- it will be lovely to see you 😊
Oh I can’t wait! Yay to some Lori Holt fabrics at Festival! Look forward to seeing you there Ellie, and I will find you this time 😂
I hope you do!! That reminds me better sort out your order...
Used to be Granada
Oh yes I remember that vaguely
Quilt shows are always so inspiring.
It's always amazing what quilters can do!
Hope to see you there!! 😊
I do hope we can get down to Exeter on Saturday 🤞 need some Lori Holt hehe
Go away
I'm sorry the audio is not great on this, I'm still getting used to my new camera and I forgot to charge up my little microphone, so I've added captions to help you!
Sir, I want your channel to have 1000+ subscribers and 4000+ watch time. Because all the videos in your channel are of very good quality. So if you can get the channel right to the people. So you can monetize your channel very soon. Hope. I can help you for that.
Well that was rather lovely. What a fabulous House and generosity from The Rowntree Foundation for public use. Your quilt looks colourful, interesting and comfortable. Thanks for sharing your retreat with us. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you! It is a lovely place to visit, so peaceful.All sorts of different groups go there, my sewing friends go several times a year but I can only usually fit in one or two trips 😊
Loved your video!
Thank you! I'm really pleased that you loved it!
love seeing the fabrics, always. i still have decorations up as we were gone the week of Christmas. it is alwyas more fun putting them up.
Thank you! Yes I always feel a bit gloomy taking them down! But onwards and upwards!
A perfect video to watch/listen to as I tidy my own craft are after it was used as a temporary visitor bedroom over the holidays. Thank you, just listening to your voice as you get on with stuff is so calming. Happy New Year 😊
Thank you! That's such a lovely comment, hope you get your room sorted soon! 😃
It all looks great Ellie 👍 You have some great looking fabrics 🤩 Good luck 🤞🇬🇧
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm having an open day on 2nd Dec- I hope you can come!
I was looking forward to watching this, but it's far too fast and not comfortable to watch. I had to stop at 1:57.
Thank you for your comment, as you will see you are not the only person to think this! Looking back at it I do see what you mean. Videos I have uploaded after this one, I have put effort into being steady with the camera, I hope you will see the improvement!
Hopefully, our comments are helpful and not demoralizing (not the intent, for sure). It's such a pleasure to be able to get a glimpse at quilt exhibitions, especially the so far away.@@oakapplehaberdashery
@@coastaljan6193 Thank you, no it's not demoralising, sometimes it takes another person to tell you of a problem! I'm pleased that so many people have at least tried to watch my video!! I have a busy programme of quilt shows in 2024 so I will try my best to make them more watchable
Hi viewing from Australia. I did enjoy your video. Quilts so beautiful.I do quilting am 80 years old. Have been quilting for twenty odd years. Did enjoy looking at your stall plus the others thank you . Kay .
Hi Kay, thank you for your lovely comments and pleased that you enjoyed my little video!😊
