Those of us who enjoy creative pursuits have come to appreciate these more than ever in recent times. To be able to focus on a sewing project and experience the pleasure and satisfaction of making something useful or beautiful with your own hands is quite profound.
Many of you have been asking about our class times and are keen to pick up where they left off. We’ve also had many enquiries from newbies wanting to enrol in beginner classes. To this end, we've reconfigured our studio and are offering our most popular classes in a few new formats. While we'll have fewer students in each class, everyone will have a designated work area and ample space to sew at a distance from others.
We're also ensuring that each student brings their own equipment (no more shared scissors or tape measures and the the like) and we're throughly cleaning our sewing machines, overlockers and work spaces between each use.
We’re running more Dressmaking Classes for both beginners and intermediate skills levels. Choose from morning, afternoon or evening classes - 2.5 hours or 3.5 hours per week.
Keep an eye out for our Fabric Stash | Sell, Swap & Share project. During my weeks in isolation, I confronted my ever-growing stash of fabric treasures and have decided that now is a good time to start to move some of it on to someone who may actually sew with it! I’m certain I’m not the only one.
Kind regards
