Introduction
50 years of service
White Rose Sewing was established in 1978 and has therefore been trading for nearly half a century - making us (we believe) the longest established sewing machine retailer in Yorkshire.
Under New Management
In July 2025, the business was acquired by a small group of North Yorkshire business friends and the company changed its name to White Rose Crafting Group Ltd, with the ambition of creating a national entity - selling, maintaining and repairing world class sewing machine brands in partnership with two of the biggest names in the industry - Brother and Juki.
In August 2025, the Harrogate store was rebranded and relaunched under the management of Sharon MacLusky and Madeline Andrew - both lifelong crafters and sewers. Maddie is a qualified scientist, teacher and accomplished musician, currently studying for a degree in textiles practice. Sharon is a former IT trainer who lived for 12 years in Hong Kong and Grand Cayman. Both have children, live in Harrogate and just love making clothes.
Customer care and service lies at the very heart of White Rose's DNA... with a passion. Step inside the shop and you'll soon see why.
Future.
Sustainability
We are huge believers in sustainability/upcycling and the fact that designing, making and repairing our clothes will help to reduce the 12 million garments a week that are currently discarded into UK landfill.
