About us
FairyTailors saw the light at the end of 2014. A hobby that got out of hand, very cliché. We built a webshop, found the most beautiful fabrics and got to know you during countless fabric fairs and pop-ups. When a building became available in 2018, a stone’s throw from our home, right in the thriving center of Tervuren, we took the plunge: in February 2018 we opened the brick shop at Klarastraat 4.
And “we” are Lieselot (the face of FairyTailors), Michel (builder of the webshop and the original interior of the store and above all eternal support) and the sweetest family and friends for supporting! And you of course, because without customers there would be no FairyTailors.
FAIRYTALE
An imaginative range for little and big princes and princesses. A creative journey of discovery by and for you and me.
FAIR
FairyTailors will pamper you with a colorful range of do-it-yourself stuff. We consciously choose fabrics with a positive story. Oeko-Tex, GOTS, Belgian designers, European productions, … Naturally, fabrics also have to be shipped. But did you know that fabrics take up a lot less space than finished pieces? So long live the DIY!
Your package will also be ecologically packed (recycled envelopes) and sent via Bpost. Our contribution to the fairy tale…

Who are we
Feeroli was founded out of a passion, a passion that originated from a hobby and has almost grown into a “healthy” addiction… Always looking for beautiful, fun, beautiful, high-quality fabrics… It gives me a warm heart when I find a beautiful find and share this fabric with everyone who also gets a warm jitters from sewing and making decent homemade fashion. And that’s how Feeroli was born, offering fabrics that are perfect for all your projects that give you a warm heart, just like me.
Who am I, well I’m Elke, I started sewing after my mama died. She has always wanted to teach me this and unfortunately it never happened so I had to learn it myself. As a beginner among the experienced seamstresses in workshops and in the evening school I felt like a fish out of water, but from the first stitch I knew this was my thing, needle and thread, scissors and fabric and the rest of the world becomes paused for a while. After a lot of practice and sweating I have already been able to finish many beautiful creations. Our mom always made fun projects for the grandchildren and that was my biggest motivation to learn it, to make a nice Christmas dress for all the girls in the family … and that includes fabrics of course … beautiful fabrics, nice fabrics, soft fabrics , but certainly also high-quality fabrics and fabrics suitable for the best DIY fashion.
In the meantime I also passed on the sewing bug to my daughters and that is how the name Feeroli came about: Fee because my mom always called me that, Ro from Rosie and Li from Lily, the names of our 2 beautiful daughters who are now also crazy about fabrics and dresses… Hopefully you will enjoy our fabrics as much as we do. We mainly chose well-known, high-quality brands because not only the fun of sewing, but also good quality is important to us. In addition, we also offer yarn and haberdashery, everything you need to realize your most beautiful creations. And we hope that we can also enjoy your projects. Be sure to share them by mail or social media, so they get a place in our favorite “sewerij”.

About us
I am Veerle, married to Jeroen and mother of 3 teenage daughters Frauke, Mare and Lobke (hence Framalo).
After a career of 15 years in education, it was time for me for something new. My daughters also needed some extra mommy love at that time, so working from home was up for me.
It all started with 10 fabrics in my living room cupboard. This quickly expanded to my desk, bedroom… and then eventually converting the garage into a real store.
But the garage shop also quickly turned out to be too small and after a while I also got tired of breaking up and dismantling the workshop tables.
Three years ago we took the decision to move to a larger building in Houthulst with sufficient retail and workshop spaces.
It’s often long and busy days for me but I don’t regret it for a second! Framalo became my fourth child, a fabric and wool shop but above all a workshop and DIY place. Every day I enjoy giving workshops and lessons. Every day I remain “Miss” but in my own way.
Teaching will always remain a part of me. Giving inspiration to others gives me enormous satisfaction and the spirit to continue. I want to inspire and make people create each in his or her own way. How a piece of fabric can turn into something beautiful, something completely finished. How a thread of wool can become a warm scarf around someone’s neck and give a warm feeling when someone compliments it. Because that is my goal: to meet and enjoy!
Of course I don’t do all this alone and I have a great team behind me!
Mister Framalo or Jeroen. In daily life school director but also my support and rock. The man who pulls me through when the going gets tough, who keeps saying that everything will always be okay, the one who always goes along with my moving whims, my financial director, help at fairs and cook at the children’s camps.
Katrien helps out in the store as a saleswoman and gives perfect advice on fabric and pattern choices. She also gives advanced sewing lessons on Wednesdays and Fridays and processes all our retouches.
