Fun times for sewists and their sewing machine at any level. Complete beginners or long time stitchers … everyone is welcome to spend a Saturday morning with us, sewing and eating cake!

We’re running 3 workshops using basic raw edge free motion machine embroidery. Each session stands alone or you can develop your skills through the three Saturdays. Using techniques to make shapes and textures, we’ll create coastal themed bunting, a bag or a cushion.

Week 2  Lighthouse – We’re stitching a lighthouse on a rocky shore which can be used as a flag for some holiday bunting or a pocket for your beach bag.
Learn basic techniques and have fun!

Bio: Kathryn Dearn
I’ve been a keen crafter from as long as I can remember but I’ve always enjoyed trying something new and a bit different. Appliqué is a great way to use up scraps and have fun with fabric.
