Autumn Classes - boy have we got a lot on!

In case you haven't heard already (and you must have done unless you've been in outer Mongolia you know - we've been shouting loud enough!) we've been super busy getting our new Shop & Studio spaces ready for our launch in September - and seeing as we've now got all this lovely room we thought we ought to fill it with not just fabric and habby but, well you know, workshops and classes and the like.

 

 
So this is what we have on offer this Autumn - if your new-term's-resolution is to get out there and get sewing then here's your chance. Spaces are all limited to 6 so don't delay booking.  Once it's full, it's full!

Free Motion Embroidery
Sam Molloy shows us how to create a one of a kind picture using applique and machine free motion embroidery techniques. Working from a variety of images (or bring your own ideas) you will learn the skills needed to create a picture that can either be framed or turned into a cushion cover. All materials will be provided, but you will need a darning or embroidery foot for your sewing machine. Click

There are tons more to add - this is just a mere taster of what we have to offer this Autumn. Watch this space for info on our other workshops and classes. We're especially desperate to tell you the details of our Christmas workshops and our pattern cutting classes .... YES - PATTERN CUTTING CLASSES!! But, the little minxes we are, you'll just have to wait (he he!) We're so excited about our lovely new space and what we can do with it. Can't wait to fling the doors open wide to you all - I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do.
