Stitch and Make studio throws open it's doors.

Hermione Alicia Thomas AKA my daughter got the opportunity to learn how to cue in records and do some scratching. This was after she discover that records have 2 sides and couldn't believe her luck when she discovered songs on the other side too!!After all she's been used to playing CD's her whole life. The wonderful Dan Brody and Lauren Hubbard treated us to some wonderful tunes, whilst we ate homemade cake and drank mulled cider.



The new Studio is divided into areas for pattern cutting,workshops,knitting lounge,sewing and shopping. There is also artists space and a small kitchen area at the back of the studio behind the door. It's like the Tardis. Good friends of mine Amelia Quiamboa and Leon Grant who run the label ALQ Associates sold from their exclusive range of clothing on the night. Artist Elke Pollard brought along her pencils and watercolours to amuse and amaze with impromptu guest portraits.

First photos of my new born studio... Dec 10th 2009

How very exciting. My first ever post. So please excuse my first fumbly attempts.

This is above Trashy Flowers which is a fantastic Vintage retro and clothing warehouse on Burns St. The retail side is on Abington Square. The Burns St site is going to be the location of the Stitch and Make Studio in Northampton a positive hive of industrious stitching and making, wonderful workshops and loads of other activities which you can follow and also get involved in.

This space now has a stud wall across it with a door in. The rather fetching range of Euro-trash undies have now gone somewhere else and I have put a stud wall across with a door in it, well not me personally, a builder... who refused to wear the very tight dungarees and white vest I insisted were EU Safety directorate requirements. Anyway here, are some more pics.
