Discovering the magic of sewing

Why don’t you spend the afternoon creating your own designer outfit or a personalised gift for that special someone?

The other day I got stuck in a traffic jam on Linking Road. For Mumbai people, that is really nothing strange cause well you are either stuck in peak hour traffic or non peak hour traffic, procession traffic, car/riksha/taxi stalled traffic, rain traffic, you get my flow. So anyway while I was waiting in the endless jam and making a few calls (which is the only time I actually get to talk without interruption if you can handle the honks in the background) my eyes suddenly fell on this new store called The Hab. It had this great window display and looked very colourful (which I discovered later was by internationally acclaimed designer Manish Arora), well either way more exciting than sitting in the endless jam. So I went inside without knowing what to expect. The Hab, shorter version for Haberdashery, as the name suggests is a one stop shot for all your sewing needs. It offers multiple choices in accessories like buttons, borders, zippers, beads,embellishments, threads, do-it-yourself kits and other miscellaneous items.

So I know sewing is not something everyone has been as fond of as I, but really spending a day at The Hab could change that for you. The Hab has various activity zones like a sewing demonstration zone, inspirational and self-learning zone, professional training and workshop zone, creating a unique learning experience. The store also displays the best Usha Janome sewing and embroidery machines with a team of sewing experts to guide you through the process while you engage in creating your customized item or accessory.An ideal destination for budding designers, creative talent and fashion aficionados, it also wishes to introduce sewing to home makers and children looking to cultivate a new hobby.The vast variety in its inventory and comfortable creative space makes it a perfect place to spend a wonderful fun filled creative afternoon.

With the launch of its first store in Mumbai, Usha International plans to encourage the art of sewing by introducing the Hab in other cities in the next few years. So next time you are out with your girlfriends or want to make a speacial personalised gift for your friends why don’t you stop by here and get sewing.
