It was a very studious day in the studio on Thursday (exactly as it should be) thanks to the wonderful @marilynscreativethreads and her Sashiko & Boro workshop.
The students learned a bit of the history of Sashiko and its origins before having a go at creating their own decorative patches, experimenting with the stitches and templates traditionally used.
Some beautiful results we think you’ll agree!!

Emma Ball prints! These cute little characters have been very popular at the shop with their woolly hats and jumpers galore! We like to think the cats are knitting the jumpers for the sheep 🤭

We had a fabulous Bayeux Tapestry embroidery workshop in our studio space on Tuesday with the brilliant @jackietapestry . The ladies learned more about the actual stitches and materials used in the tapestry and then focused on recreating Aelfgyva, one of three women in the main panel of the tapestry (and only one of six women in the whole thing!).
A huge thank you to Jackie for facilitating this workshop. If you missed this date we are running the workshop again in early 2027, and there is one space left on the full day Bayeux workshop in November this year.

A little more information about our Take Away or Stay & Play week next week!!
4 different projects for you, plus two colouring pages drawn by our very own Beth. Pocket money prices for the packs which you can then take away and make in your own time (with all instructions included in each pack) or you can make a morning of it, order cake from @riverside_brasserie_lewes and get stuck in, there and then, in our studio space.
Drop in sessions, no need to book.

There’s a lot of restraint that goes into ordering from @stephanoise_rubans 😂
This was our latest order, topping up on the furnishing style braids, metallic velvet ribbons, sneaking in some new things and restocking the lobster clips after they all sold to one person to make a parties-worth of furry tails!
What would you add to your basket?

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!!
