We are very excited about collaborating with a hat designer-Holly Dench for our new Fascinator class. This workshop will be held at a fantastic new bar venue The book club in Leonard street, London EC2A 4RH. At the end of the workshop we will all enjoy a fab cocktail together, admiring each others unique creations.

New class schedule
We have added the new class schedule for november to our web-site,
www.thethriftystitcher.co.uk
I have not only become addicted to buying and re-reading gorgeous sewing books, but i cant stop looking for inspiration. If you fancy the handmade look but can't really be bothered then check out this shop
www.sassandbelle.co.uk
They have so many gorgeous fabric products, including yummy bunting, cushions, mobiles and covered books. If you have a look at their website, you could also get some inspiration for projects. I really like the pirate cushions in blue for boys rooms, and the pirate bunting. They have an adorable pink check drawstring sleep-over bag for girls, and cute cushions for a girl's room.
Here are some pics-

Starting from scratch sewing day -25th Oct
Yesterday we had a lovely day with 5 enthusiastic sewers.
The morning was spent covering basics, hand sewing, tools required and starting to use a machine. Everyone created a cute rosette brooch before lunch, here are a selection-
After lunch the projects were finalized and fabrics chosen. Unusually everyone chose to make a cushion. We offer lots of variation in the way to customize the projects, so no 2 cushions are ever the same.
Look at the great cushions that were created yesterday!

First class
I got an early last night, because I am terrified about our first ever class today!
Alex arrived at 8.30 am, and my boyfriend who has had a really hard week opening 2 plays this week, got up to come and help us.
Once we arrived at the studio, we had to try and move Alex's cutting table which has rolls and rolls of fabric underneath, and was very very heavy. We had to take most of the stuff out from underneath, and eventually we managed to move it!
My boyfriend helped us finish re-arrange the studio, and then put up signs. He was a charming host as our students arrived.
There was a lot of service disruption with our lovely transport system so people arrived in dribs and drabs. At about 11.30, we got going, and from that point on we had such a great time, all the planning, and logistical stuff slipped away and we just played with buttons/felt and sewing machines.
We made the most of the last few rays of sunshine, and took our lunch in the park across from the studio. After lunch everyone got going with their selected project-a cushion/or a bag. We had some delicious cupcakes mid afternoon, and a little over the allotted finish time, we took our first group picture with all our group displaying their finished project.
Alex and I had a little clear-up once the ladies had left, and then went home exhausted!!!
Hooray, one down, many more to come-(hopefully)
