Description
Located within a wooden cabin within Sarah’s garden overlooking open fields and woodland, you’ll immediately feel inspired to dip into creating some pretty florals on your sewing machine. The day will be full of creativity whether it’s painting or sewing, you will have the choice to further your skills on your sewing machine by creating a small collection of floral notecards, bookmark, pouch, candle lampshade or an embroidered picture taken from a painting.
The notecards will be made using a freehand embroidered appliqué technique, stitching tiny pieces of fabric directly onto a card blank. This is a wonderful way of using up those scraps of fabric, and an in expensive way of making special cards for all sorts of occasions – you’ll possibly never buy a greetings card again!
Sarah will guide you throughout this workshop with demonstrations and many helpful tips and trouble shooting recommendations. She will have a range of designs available to you for inspiration as well as a large choice of fabrics for you to freely use. Templates can be provided, or Sarah can cut your fabric shapes for you so there is no need to worry if you don’t feel confident in creating a design yourself. If you’d like to include some painting within the day, Sarah will provide all painting materials for you to use.
Please bring your own sewing machine and make sure that you are able to lower the feed dog – this enables you to sew freehand. If you do require a machine there is a machine available to loan – please ask for this when you book. Thread, fabric, notecards and envelopes will all be provided, simply bring along an embroidery foot and load up your bobbins with white thread!
All Sarah’s workshops are fun and relaxed and shared with what is always a lovely group of like minded people. Quite often ideas, projects and new techniques are shared so that everyone, including Sarah, feels like they’ve had a very full and enjoyable creative session!
Refreshments will be served throughout, however please bring a packed lunch. Hopefully the sun will be shining and we can sit out in the garden to eat.
