Welcome to part 2 of 'My Wellington' – today I'm visiting my friend Lyndy Young of Stitchbird Fabrics in Kilbirnie, Wellington- one of my all-time favourite places to find craft supplies and get inspired.

Stitchbird existed exclusively online until this time last year- exactly one year ago, in fact. Happy birthday, Stitchbird shop! Now you can see and touch all the colourful textile goodness in person and have a chat with Lyndy herself.

Kilbirnie has some shopping gems, and this is one of them for sure. Lyndy says she likes being based in the suburb because of its characters, colour and accessibility to the Wellington CBD. She hopes to introduce some crafting kits (to inspire busy people to get creative) and classes (to enhance a sense of creative community and fun) in this second year of the store. 

Stitchbird specialises in beautiful Japanese fabrics and craft supplies. But there's more than that- you can find all the craft supplies your heart desires here, and some handmade products, too. You can also order custom homewares (such as lightshades) covered in your choice of fabric.

Here are some photos I snapped at Stitchbird one bright Saturday morning.
