BOOKING FOR THIS WEEKEND WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY 12TH JANUARY AT 8PM – THE EVENT WILL SHOW AS ‘SOLD OUT’ UNTIL THIS TIME 

A whole weekend of sewing with support, advice and tips from Julia Hincks.

Book your place for 2 full days of uninterrupted sewing.

You can work on whatever project you wish (so long as you bring it with you) and you’ll have a 6ft table to work on.

Additional space will be available for cutting out or drafting patterns.

The space is yours from 10.30am – 4.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday we’ll aim to finish and lock up by 4.45pm and if you’re feeling sociable (or should I saw ‘sewciable’) we’ll go for a post sewing drink at a local pub – venue dependent on weather.

On Sunday we’ll start again at 10.30am and aim to finish the day at 4.30pm.

Please Note: This isn’t for complete beginners – you need to know how to use your sewing machine and have a basic idea of how to approach your chosen project.

We’ll be having a fabric and pattern swap so please bring with you any unwanted patterns and / or fabrics to exchange.
