Our workshops start at 9:30 and finish by 1:30 and are held in our gorgeous garden sewing room in Tunbridge Wells.  There is a maximum of two families on this workshop so they are small, friendly, fun and you get your project finished with lots of support.

A quick break for tea/juice and cake before you start on your projects

Fabric guidelines: -  You will need cotton/heavy weight cotton.  I will email you details of how much fabric you will need to bring.

We have linked up with the wonderful Elephant in my Handbag for your fabric.  The week before the workshop Stephanie will be opening up her amazing fabric heaven to help you choose your fabrics - I will also be on hand as well to help!

We use Janome sewing machines in our workshops but if you have your own sewing machine and want to use it then please do bring yours.
