About Us
In October 2020, Creative Notions, a sewing shop in Hermanus became a Bernina dealer for the Overberg region after a special agreement was reached between them and Bernina South Africa.
Creative Notions established themselves in Hermanus in 2017. However the shop has been in business for well over 12 years, having started in Pretoria in 2010. From selling embroidery software from a home office, the shop grew to now being a fully fledged in store and online sewing shop, covering almost all aspects of a sewer, embroiderer or quilter’s needs.
Visit Bernina Overberg and step into a warm and friendly tranquil environment with your favourite music playing softly in the background.
Get lost between colourful threads, vibrant quilting fabric, innovative sewing and quilting gadgets, and a variety of new and used Bernina and Bernette machines on display.
Enjoy a cuppa while getting inspiration by browsing through sewing library books and magazines or discover a new skill by attending a sewing workshop.
And don’t forget about your most important tool, your sewing machine! Treat your old, trusted friend for a good machine service – it deserves some tender, loving care every now and then.
Looking forward to welcoming you!
