Description
Get to know your way around a sewing machine and learn the basic techniques to help build your confidence and skills. In this day workshop you will cover threading and setting up your machine, creating different stitches, inserting a zip, boxing corners, making and joining pieces of a simple pattern. You’ll spend the day learning how to make a variety of projects to take home, using a selection of fabrics provided, including a drawstring bag and a zipped pouch. You will end the day feeling satisfied with your achievements and more confident using a sewing machine. "Lauren has a very calm and supportive vibe. She answers any questions with a great deal of patience. I did not feel rushed at all which was lovely. The materials she uses are also really high quality so it makes the finished product look so good! I’d wholeheartedly recommend Lauren’s workshops!" - Jo Bloxham

Unfortunately, we do not have our own designated car park, however there are plenty around Cirencester. The nearest short stay car park is The Brewery Car Park which is approximately 2 minutes away and is a council run pay and display. This car park has several disabled parking spaces too. Sheep Street Car Park is a longer stay car park 3 minutes away, it is a cashless car park facilitated by Pay by Phone.
