Sewing Society Open Studio Session
You've spoken...and we have listened!
Following discussions with our Sewing Society customers, we are aware that some of you are hoarding Sewing Society Kits and building up quite a collection of unmade kits! If this sounds familiar, why not come along to one of our Open Studio Sessions to give you that nudge, to start your next project.
Come and use our high cutting tables, state of the art sewing machines, overlockers and tools and equipment. We will have one of our expert tutors on hand throughout the day, to provide help and advice if you reach a sticking point with your project. Bring along your kit (or kits) and use the session as you wish.
Get help with measuring yourself so you can work out what size to cut your pattern, cut out your projects during the session...ready to sew up at home, or bring your cut pieces ready to to assemble in the day. It's up to you how you use this open session, but enjoy a day surrounded by like-minded sewists, away from the distractions at home and get stuck into you Sewing Society Project.
PLEASE NOTE - If the class is showing as fully booked, please contact us on [email protected] and we can check availability. Sometimes we can experience a glitch in the website where the workshop appears as fully booked when it is not. We are fixing it as soon as possible.
- Running Time
- 10.00am - 4.00pm
