The textile workshops are to be held on Tuesday 12th and 26th February and Tuesday 12th and 26th March and Thursday 7th and 21st February and Thursday 7th and 21st March. In the workshop day you will learn how to turn old scraps of fabric and lace into cushion covers, tablemats and wall-hangings. Upcycle those embroidered and lacy old table cloths, doilies and pillowcases that are taking up space in drawers and cupboards to make cushion covers, wall-hangings, quilts or duvet covers. Make a bed runner or table runner incorporating many of the sewing techniques used in quilting. Make a simple bag using up scraps of fabric. The day includes lunch, teas and coffees and a selection of fabrics all for £35 per day. Booking is essential, please call 01205 821610 to book a space or Diane Watson on 07917190241 or 01205821545 for further details including a requirements list.
