Cape Town Sewing Centre

Cape Town Sewing Centre Cape Town Sewing Centre offers a one-stop-shop-sewing experience. We are a local haberdashery and we are bernina stockists.

Cape Town Sewing Centre was founded in 1998, when it was realised that the small sewing business had difficulty obtaining good quality supplies at reasonable prices. It was also important to have all elements of the garment available in one place, so that it was no longer necessary to get zips, elastic, ribbon, interfacing and buttons etc from different suppliers. The “one stop sewing shop” experi

ence was born. By sourcing both local and imported trims, designers and manufacturers are able to keep up with the latest trends. Orders or queries, either by fax or telephone, are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Operating hours

If you’re spending more time coaxing your machine along than actually enjoying your sewing, it may be worth looking at your options.

A machine that’s worn out, unreliable or simply no longer suited to what you want to make can turn something you love into unnecessary frustration.

Our Annual Trade-In Event gives you the opportunity to trade in any brand — working or not — and explore selected BERNINA and bernette machines that may better suit what you want to create.

Pop in, message us or give us a call and ask us how the Annual Trade-In works.

Ends 8 September 2026.
