Over 40 years of
experience
Gill Thornley established Ditto Fabrics in April 1983 and has been addicted to material for as long as she can remember. Gill loves sewing and puts her fashion degree and years working in the trade to good use. The experienced makers and fashion graduates on the Ditto staff share her zest and knowledge of all things fabric, sewing and fashion and they all love helping people choose the right fabric for the look they want.
Gill is loving the revival of sewing and crafts currently enticing women and men of all ages to get stitching, in part thanks to The Great British Sewing Bee. Gill is looking forward to even more makers of all skill levels visiting Ditto to see the fabulous range for themselves in the shop or on this site.
My aim has always been to provide an ever-changing, exciting and inspirational range of sewing fabrics at competitive prices.
