Join me for a 4 week Christmas workshop at Stitch Make Create in the heart of Horbury

This fun workshop takes place over 4 consecutive weeks, each workshop is 2.5 hours long, making lovely Christmas themed projects which are ideal for beginners & experienced sewists. All equipment & materials are provided for this workshop.

Get into the festive spirit while sewing 4 unique Christmas themed items, starting with a re-usable Christmas gift bag, a lovely Christmas stocking, a reusable Christmas cracker to fill with gifts of your own choosing & a reusable Christmas crown to go inside the cracker.

This in-person event offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for sustainability and sewing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewer, I will guide you every step of the way.

Don't miss out on this chance to add a personal touch to your holiday season while reducing waste.

Each week you will learn a new skill & build your confidence

Week 1: You will sew a fully lined drawstring bag - a perfect project for beginners & can be made to any size. Using a different fabric will result in a lovely bag for toiletries, or a craft project, so could be made as a gift too!

Week 2:You will make a lined Christmas stocking, this can be personalised using simple applique, if you're feeling confident.

Week 3: Make a re-usable Christmas cracker that can be used again & again & filled with gifts you know the recipients will love.

Week 4: Make an adjustable crown to go inside the cracker.
