We have a large studio dedicated just to sewing that is separate from our shop. We offer coffee/tea on arrival and half way through the session. We have a place to iron so you can press your seams or straighten out your project as well as room to do cutting. We have car parking outside the shop and just across the road from the shop. If you need any help carrying anything we will be more than happy to help. We are also on a bus route from Newcastle (bus 47 or 10A) and from Consett (V9). If you are travelling by bus just ask the driver to tell you when you get to Blackhalk Mill. We are situated on the main road. During the workshops Kim will be here to answer any questions you may have about your project. Everyone who comes to the workshops are very friendly and it's a great way to get new ideas for your next project.
When you come to the workshop you will need to bring your Sewing Machine, sewing kit and everything you will need to do your work.
