A zip cushion made in three hours from scratch. Amazing experience! You choose the required materials ,design and sewing machine to make it .
Steph - 25 October 2020
I had a one to one class with Rachel on making a zipped cushion.......one word FABULOUS! I hadn’t used a sewing machine since leaving school and was a little nervous but Rachel was brilliant at explaining things and she was very patient. I spent the best 3 hours doing something for myself that I throughly enjoyed, haven’t done that for a long time. Thank you Rachel I will be back soon, Steph x
