New Sewing Classes for the New Year

Happy New Year! Sorry, I'm a little late on January 17th but I have to confess I'm being a bit slow getting back into the swing of things!

However, our evening sewing classes for adults have started this week and it's very exciting for me and the ladies coming to think about new projects and learning new skills in the new year. Sewing machines have been a very popular Christmas gift this year so as well as our new adult workshops I am adding a Saturday Sewing Club to the timetable for children, 8 years +.

The workshop will take place once a month and is perfect for beginners to get to grips with the sewing machine and pick up lots of useful tips & techniques, after all a sewing machine is for life not just for Christmas!!

Here are the dates for the first half of 2013, the workshops run 2-5.30pm and cost £35.
Fabric is provided for some projects but please check carefully below as you may need to bring your own. All other materials are provided and you can use our sewing machines or bring yours with you!

Saturday 16th February - Introduction & make a pencil/tool roll. All materials provided.
Saturday 16th March - Large "Sleepover" Tote Bag. All materials provided.
Saturday 20th April - Pyjama Trousers - 1 metre of non-stretch cotton poplin needed, 140cm wide*, (shirt weight fabric).
