Customising Charity Shop Finds.

We had a great day the other Saturday sewing strips of fabric, ribbons and threads together in a combination of wonderful colours. These were then turned into frills for T-shirts. Our class spent many happy hours experimenting and playing with a rather enormous mountain of fabric with which to embellish their clothes.

If you love experimenting with textiles and discovering new techniques, our Calico Textile workshop starts on Tues july 6th from 7-9pm here at the studio. Each week we
demonstrate a new technique and you spend time experimenting. This is eventually made into a book of samples, which you can work into further. Just get in touch.

Our Vintage Clutch Bag Workshop.

We had such a fun and rewarding day today in the studio. Although it was rainy outside Amelia and I kept everyone topped up with tea and biscuits whilst we showed the group how to make a gorgeous clutch from a vintage scarf.
Following a simple outline wadding is sandwiched between lining and the scarf.

We also showed the group how to make some lovely couture roses to embellish the front.

A very happy group showing off their handiwork. The next clutch bag session is July 17th.
