Dressmaking

Hello

Have you or anyone you know ever fancied dressmaking?

We run classes on the last Saturday of the month with a dressmaking teacher. In the class you will learn a different skill every time such as how to put a dart in, reading a pattern and knowing which fabrics are best to work with.

Our next class is on Saturday 25th March, 10:15am-12:45pm. In this session you will learn how to insert a zip into a garment. After you have learned this skill you will be able to get on with your own project with help and guidance from the teacher when needed.

This class is great for beginners as the teacher will help you to make a simple garment first such as pyjamas or a skirt to show you the basics. He class is also ideal for people who have been dressmaking for a while and would just like a few pointers with their project.

The class is only £10.

Follow the link below to visit our website to book, or call us on 01207 565728.

Scan'N'Cut Days

Hello,

Our UK exclusives of the Brother Scan'N'Cut were a huge success on Thursday & Friday! John Bloodworth introduced the Scan'N'Cut and Melanie Haigh showed everyone how to get the most of Scan'N'Cut.

Everyone who came said they thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about theScan'N'Cut and how to use it along with their embroidery machines.

We also raised a lot of money for Mind Charity as part of John Bloodworths 'All Counties Craft Challenge'.

We are very proud to be the first place in the UK to hold a Masterclass for the new Scan'N'Cut.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the event.

There are photos on our Facebook page.
