Madeline, that’s Nancy Moerenhout and also a piece of An Van Dessel.
Madeline the fabric madam is my dream that came true in 2014. Years earlier I made my first knitting and then switched to sewing lessons. Beautiful fabrics became a passion. One I’d like to share with you. Via the store in Lier, the webshop or a cozy workshop.
Pop in if you’re in the area? I would like to get to know you.

NANCY X
A fabric store five minutes by bike from my house: a silent wish and a danger at the same time. First I was an enthusiastic customer, then I gave workshops and now I work part-time in this wonderful store.
My main occupation is a teacher, which comes in handy during the workshops. When my oldest son was born, I became addicted to sewing and beautiful fabrics. It’s fantastic that I can now partly turn that hobby into my profession. Would you like to meet us?

AN X
I’m Shanna, Nancy’s eldest daughter. Admittedly, working in my mom’s fabric shop… it wasn’t the job of my dreams right away. But three years ago we gave it a shot and this turned out to be the best decision ever!

I am responsible for the webshop, how my mom combined that with the store all this time is a mystery to me, because the webshop of Madeline de Stoffenmadam, that is more than a full-time job!

That I spend every day between ladies who share a common passion is quite special. I wouldn’t want anything else, that makes working here even more pleasant and enjoyable.

In the meantime I took a “sewing for beginners” course, and that An can even teach someone like me to sew says a lot about the fantastic teacher she is! I’ve been in the shop myself for a few months now. How I enjoy those chats! And I learn so much from you, our customers, it’s a pleasure every day.

SHANNA X
My name is Hilde, now 59 years young and I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. When I got the chance to work for Madeline at the end of 2016, I was thrilled! My dream job, finally!

Since then I have joined the “Team Madeline” and I am full of conviction in the store every day, cutting fabrics and assisting customers with advice and assistance. I am a retoucher, sewing is my passion. Customers can always contact me for advice and a nice chat.
