A NEW craft hub in Wem will be opened by a television 'craft guru'.

Debbie Shore, former children’s ITV presenter and craft guru on ITV’s This Morning will be coming to Wem on Saturday, March 7 to cut the ribbon at the grand opening event at Jenni’s Crafting Hub in High Street.

Sewing supremo Debbie will be guest of honour at the opening day meeting with customers and doing sewing demonstrations between 11am and 1pm.

Mayor of Wem, Councillor Phil Glover will also be attending to escort the guest of honour and welcome her to Wem.

Jenni’s Crafting Hub is not just a soft craft supply shop but a place for crafters to meet and work on their projects around like minded people.

The shop is the brainchild of sewing enthusiast and former primary school teacher Jenni Harris.

"As a sewing enthusiast, I have been a fan of Debbie Shore’s work for a number of years, watching her regularly on her TV appearances and her YouTube channel," said Jenni.

"To have Debbie come and open my shop is so exciting, there’s a real buzz in the local craft community about it."
