If you would like a refresher on using a sewing machine, we suggest doing our Beginners Guide to Sewing Machine workshop before this workshop.

This workshop takes place in our Sewing School. 

We have brand new Janome sewing machines for you to use, plus all the other tools, equipment and sewing 'notions'.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the workshop.

We have sewing machines you can use, but if you prefer to bring your own you are very welcome to.

This workshop takes place upstairs in our new sewing school and I'm afraid we do not have a lift.  We do have a toilet and refreshment station upstairs.
