We run classes in the shop every week. The projects change throughout the year, for the exact details, dates and prices please check our latest workshop list - October, November and December.

OUR REGULAR CLASSES:

Scissor Sisters – sewing club

An informal sewing day with like-minded people, sharing ideas, helping each other and having a good time – that’s what our sewing club Scissor Sister is all about! Whether you want to start a new project or need to finish one started a long time ago, whether it’s a piece of clothing, cushion, bag or a quilt, whatever the project, no matter how big or small, let’s finish it together! Sometimes just being around other sewers is an inspiration to get the job done, so if you need a reason to try something new, or incentive to finish off an old UFO, sign up and see how quickly those projects will be completed.

The club is run fortnightly on Wednesdays and Thursdays and monthly on Saturdays. For exact dates check the workshop list.

You can book on regular basis or just pick the dates which suit you. Vendulka is available all day for advice.

Sewing for Charity

Once a month Vendulka offers her workshop and scrap fabrics up to sewers to come and spend a day making items for charity. Since its inception in March 2016, a group of ladies have been meeting up and enjoying a day of sewing, chat and creativity whilst having the added pleasure of doing something which is charitable.

Throughout 2016 the group made up to nearly 80 tactile twiddle quilts for local care homes and dementia groups. These were so well-received and the sewers themselves had had such a good time that this group activity has been extended to 2017. 

The projects this year include heart shaped cushions for breast cancer patients, sanitary pads for girls unable to source them in Africa (so they don’t need to drop out of school when their period starts) and pillowcase dresses for children in Africa.

This is a very informal class, which is free to attend, all you need to bring is your own sewing machine, all other materials are free, but booking is advisable as spaces are limited. 

We welcome everybody no matter your sewing experience!

Or you can help us by donating pillow or duvet cases, towels, flannel material or stuffing/cushion fillings. 

Cancellation with 2 weeks notice – we will refund your payment or offer you a place on a future workshop.

Cancellations within 13 – 8 days of the workshop – we will refund 50% of the payment.
Last minute cancellations, ie. 7 days or less before a workshop – we’re afraid we cannot refund any payments as from experience we’ve found it impossible to fill places at such short notice.

Full refund for cancellation under 14 days possible if we replace you. Thank you for understanding with these formalities.
