Includes Dinner
Hand stitching can be very soothing and meditative, especially if you make an occasion of it. Good quality tools that you enjoy using play a big part in the pleasure of sewing, so treat yourself to a new sharp needle, fine thread and small sharp scissors; really notice and appreciate them each and every time you use them.
English Paper Piecing
Afternoon tea never looked so good! Coasters for your favourite cup and saucer, your teapot and cake stand to be piled high with dainty sandwiches (crusts off please!) and scones for jam and cream.
In Janet’s workshop you will learn the gentle art of English paper piecing to create lovely patchwork coasters hand stitched to a blanket backing.
Rosalind's Pilates workshop will provide a wonderful opportunity to stretch and rebalance both body and mind.
