All materials will be provided for you on the day but if you would like to up cycle your own materials then please feel free to bring them along. Please let us know your general size ahead of the workshop to ensure we have the correct sized pattern easy to hand.

A basic knowledge of sewing is required for this workshop. If you are a complete beginner I offer an introduction to sewing class for an added fee - send me an email to workout an appropriate time.

This is the perfect class to come alone or with others. A hen-do or a birthday treat? Or just expanding your making skills. This is an intimate workshop with only 4 spaces so book asap to avoid disappointment! Tea, coffee and biccies will be provided :)
