l will be organising a workshop shortly for anybody who wishes to learn to use their sewing machine confidently, or for anyone who wishes to learn free machining. This means drawing with your sewing machine which can then lead on to making bowls, bags or embellishments.

You would be bringing your own machine which enables you continue stitching at home with confidence.

Please keep checking back for dates.

I have been invited to join the Fibrefusion Contemporary Textile Group which is based near Cambridge, now had our first meeting which was great fun and they are a lovely talented group. I hope to be able to learn and be part of this well established group, really looking forward to exhibiting and working together.
