Stash Hub Blog
New Feature - Discover Sewing Shops in Stash Hub
23 February 2024
Do you struggle to find good quality supplies for your sewing projects? Want to support independent sewing shops but not sure where to find them? We’ve got you, with the new Shops section in Stash Hub. Discover new sewing shops and get discounts on the sewing supplies you need.
Shops Section
Open the Stash Hub menu and scroll down to Shops. Here you’ll see a list of our partnered shops with a summary of each business. Keep an eye on this section as we’re planning to add more shops over time, so you’ll be able to discover more independent brands and get great deals on your sewing supplies. Click into a shop you like the look of to view their profile. This will have photos, a description of what they offer, and links to their website and social media channels. Stash Hub Plus subscribers will also be able to access discounts for some of our partnered shops!
One of my favourite things about the sewing community is seeing small businesses supporting each other. We’re hoping that shop partnerships will be mutually beneficial, as we’ll be able to spread the word about Stash Hub and some great sewing businesses you may not have discovered yet. Some of the links to our partnered shops are affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase from one of these shops, we earn a commission. This is a fantastic way for you to get the products you love while supporting us at no extra cost to you. It’s the ultimate win-win situation!
If the ‘shop’ field in your fabric record matches a shop in our new Shops section, the shop logo will appear and you’ll be able to link to that shop in the Shops section.
Stash Button
We’ve created a STASH button which will be featured on the websites of our partnered fabric shops. Tap this button on a fabric listing to add it directly to your Stash Hub! This uses the same technology as Magic Input to extract the fabric photos and description, so it’s added to your stash in seconds.
