We have one sign up for Thursday’s Seashell Stitchscape workshop with @power.beth - would anyone else like to come along?
If you are interested in creating 3D textures with free-style embroidery that has no right or wrong, playing with fabrics and colour and “stuff”, this could be the workshop for you!!
The link to our workshops is in our bio - every workshop includes a delicious drink and highly recommended slice of cake from @riverside_brasserie_lewes .

Pinning has begun!!
We have started pinning poppies into our cascade fabric and hoping that it’s all going to start pulling together. Thank you so much to everyone who has made and donated poppies so far! We’ve still got several metres to go….. 😅

Our second advent panel sample is finished and up on display! This is the beautiful Nutcracker panel from @makoweruk , backed in their Dimples blender in Christmas Red.
The number squares for this one are individually made and stitched on, so it’s a little bit of a longer project in comparison to the Adorn panel we have which is a sneaky fold and stitch option.
Big thanks to Julie for stitching all of our Christmas panel samples for us!!

Our September in pictures! We’ve had a lot of new stock in to kick start the cosy season and start of Christmas shopping. 🍂
We’ve also welcome a new team member!! Margie will be in the shop on Fridays and makes her own beautiful clothes so has great advice for patterns and fabrics. Come and say hi!
We’ve had some fab workshops, although didn’t manage to photograph all of them, named our yarn throwing ghost, and been busy with lots of planning for our upcoming events and for next year! Lots of exciting things to come in October - sign up to our fortnightly newsletter so you don’t miss out!

If you are looking for something to do over the October half term week, we will have a little selection of Take Away or Stay and Play kits for you to drop in and have a go at. (Halloween and autumn themed of course!)
You can either sit and create in our studio space with our additional craft supplies/tools or take them home to complete. Instructions will be provided with the different packs.
There will be a small fee depending on the craft to cover our material costs.
No age limits, just make something for the joy of making something!!
These are first come first served drop in sessions. The studio space and packs will be available from 9.30am-12.30pm on each drop in day.
