We are not currently able to supply set squares. These are readily available from most stationery stores or, alternatively, you could look at our range of patchwork rules.

If you only require some of the items in the sewing kit, you can order everything separately, using a personal student discount code. To apply, please email us using the contact form: https://www.sew-irish.ie/contact-us/. Note: discounts cannot be applied retrospectively. Please apply for your code before placing your order.
