Sew Saturday 15th October 2016

We are pleased to announce that we are taking part in this years "Sew Saturday" campaign launched in association with SEW Magazine. This is a nationwide campaign which aims to support little high street shops like me. On the Saturday 15th October 2016 we have the following events;


SEW Happy Saturday Sewing Sessions Workshop - 10.00am to 1.00pm – 2½ hours
Price: £10.00
We shall be holding a "Sew Happy Saturday Sewing Session’. During this workshop you will make SEW letters, which will be the prettiest addition to your sewing room or sewing station. Notions required: A selection of 3 fat quarters, your sewing kit, your sewing machine, cotton thread, 250g filling.

SEW Anyway Tea Party - 2.00pm to 4.30pm
Price: £3.50 (proceeds going to the Dogs Trust)
We shall be holding our popular Sew-Anyway Tea Party", promising to be filled to the brim with lots of sewing superness. Our 'Sew Anyway Day' encourages you to bring along any project whether it be sewing, knitting or crocheting, which has been hanging around in your WIP's pile. Hopefully you will finish the pesky project to then enable you to start a new one! We will also have a ‘make and take’ project that you can have a go at on the day! To celebrate Sew Saturday we shall also be holding a 10% sale* upon our haberdashery and giftware. On the day we have free patterns to give away. So come and sew anyway you like, sup a cuppa, chomp on cake and meet like-minded crafty people and most of all be happy and sew! Each happy sewist shall receive a free goody bag on the day. Spaces are limited, should you wish to join in any of our Sew Saturday Celebrations please telephone us upon 01785 259587, e-mail, or pop into the shop. *excludes gift vouchers and workshops.
