The Workshop

Following all the interest from people watching her creating a beautiful Bobbin Roll Wrap at our Open Day … your tutor, Julie, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “Slow Stitching is the art of gentle sewing using small stitches and treasured fabrics. During this day of Slow Stitching you will create a Bobbin Roll Wrap using vintage and recycled fabrics, linen, lace and threads (all materials provided). We will start by deciding on a theme for our wrap be it gardening, family, travel, hobbies or you may just wish to collect snippets of fabric that you love rather than have a specific theme. We will then move onto decorating your roll with embroidery and the quote(s) you decide on. I will be on hand to guide you through staining fabrics, embroidering text and transferring images.”

What is the cost?

£75 + £1.40 card fee This includes all the materials needed to make your Bobbin Roll and refreshments during the day (excluding lunch)

How many places are available?

To ensure the quality of your personal experience, the group size is limited to 8.

What are the timings?

This is a relaxed, full-day running from 10am to 4pm.

Our purple front door will be open from 9.30am so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Julie and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.

What skills are needed?

No experience is necessary.

What to bring on the day?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience!

Specific to this workshop:

• Any treasured fabrics you’d like to incorporate
• Thoughts about quotes you like before you arrive… (sometimes the planning can take longer than the doing, so if you’d like please come with ideas beforehand, then Julie can help you bring them to life)
• Reading glasses if you need them.

Please bring your own lunch or some money to buy something from either the hot-food hut nearby or the small local Asda. We will be providing drinks and home-made biscuits throughout the day.

We want you to go home with a spring in your step and feel really good about what you have achieved. To make sure we can thoroughly look after you during your workshop please fill in your booking form with all the things that will help, be it your favourite milk, or any extra support you may require. Please also let us know of allergies that we may need to highlight to your fellow crafters e.g. nuts, perfume. Many thanks.
