The Sewing House

Iwona Drawk has more than 30 years experience as a seamstress and dress maker, and saw an opportunity to bring her skills to Main Street, Kanturk. Iwona started her studies in economics, but switched to studying as a seamstress; the love was immediate. In Poland, she had worked within others stores, but in 2022, she decided to take the plunge and open her own sewing business.

The Sewing House aims to be a hub for all things sartorial; the making and altering of wedding, communion and debs dresses. And it doesn’t stop with clothing; Iwona makes and repairs curtains and blinds, and up-cycles everything from duvets to bags. Anything made of fabric and leather is fair game!

She is a big believer in quality; instead of catering to the fast fashion industry, she aims to ensure her items last years. In time, she hopes to provide bags and purses for regular sale, as well as hoping to employ staff in the future. This will increase turn around of orders, but will also spread her knowledge of sustainable creation and repair in fabric items.

Iwona is extremely motivated and creative, visualising stunning, unique designs, catering for any size, shape, and ability, and doing so with joy that has brought customers back time and time again.
