Craft lounge idea for all to enjoy in Holbeach is the dream of Yvonne Porter-Smith, who started out creating bridesmaids dresses for Harrods Published: 20:00, 20 February 2021
Rediscovering arts, crafts and traditional hobbies have become more popular during lockdown - and thatâs spurred an idea to bring a new âcraft loungeâ to Holbeach.
Yvonne Porter-Smith, who runs haberdashery shop The Fabric Fae in High Street, is in the process of creating a hub in the store to bring people together to exchange ideas and learn skills in handicrafts.
There wonât be a charge to use the craft lounge if people are bringing their own items to work on - from knitting, to crochet, hand sewing and embroidery, and a small fee if people want to use one of the sewing machines in the store.

NHS workers who are continuing to care for South Holland residents will be receiving treats to brighten their days after a group decided they wanted to help.
Donna Dicks, who lives in Sutton Bridge, has joined forces with Yvonne Porter-Smith of The Fabric Fae in Holbeach and fellow sewer Debby Palmer to put together treat bags for NHS workers after creating protective garments during the first national lockdown.
The group has been collecting items and hand creating bags which will be delivered to NHS staff at hospitals which serve our area.
