The Workshop Schedule is launched!

With less than a week to go till the grand launch, we can now reveal the exciting plans we have for the space, including workshops by the experts, pattern classes from Tessa Evelegh (of Great British Sewing Bee fame), craft & chat evenings and drop-in sessions for kids during half term & Fathers Day.

There are loads of different classes; for beginners & improvers in knitting, sewing & crochet, for using patterns to make garments… There are more details on our Workshops page. But do drop in anytime to have a chat with us, to ask advice, to buy bits & kits to get crafting at home, or to browse ideas on our inspiration wall.

Peruse the calendar at your leisure and then book for the classes through the Workshops page.

Is your #MIY outfit a winner?

Make sure you get your gladrags on for the make/do launch on Friday 23rd May. And if you wear something you have made yourself then not only will toy get a voucher for 10% in the shop, but you’ll be in with a chance to win a copy of Sew your own Wardrobe from the #GBSB series.

On the night, author of the book Sew your own Wardrobe, Tessa Evelegh, will be officially opening the shop, sharing some words of wisdom and signing books. But the highlight will be as she casts her expert eye over your handiwork and presents a signed copy of her book to the person she feels has created a standout garment or accessory.

So what will Tessa be looking for in a winning Make it Yourself #MIY piece?
Here are some ideas:
