Exciting Sewing Workshop / Club News...

Blinkin' heck its another hot one!!

I feel a Pimms and lemonade coming on later...

But before I do I wanted to share some exciting sewing workshop / club news with you all.  

As some of you may already know, I have such a passion for sewing I really want to pass on my new found skills to others wanting to learn.  I decided that launching two trial sessions during Adult Learners Week back in May this year would be a great opportunity to put the feelers out and see if there was any call for it.  I was astonished and still am at the response I received during this week.  I did not realise there would be such a demand.  A series of sessions are also being filmed by a fantastic local company called FYI Neath and will be made into a short film which I am so pleased about.

SO...

This led to me setting up monthly workshops / clubs with two local libraries.  These are often very full, and have a reserve list for many sessions.  

SO...

I have been discussing the workshops with various venues and am now very excited to announce the following: -

All sessions are informal and are lots of fun.  Many involve biscuits and cake!!  You do not need to bring anything apart from yourself to the sessions.  I provide everything you need all included in these bargain prices.  At the end of each session, there is an opportunity to purchase haberdashery supplies and sewing kits should you wish to do so.

I have lots of planning and preparation to be getting on with... better make that a double Pimms and lemonade!!!
