This is an invitation for you and your friends to come and take a peek at our studio, ask any questions about courses or projects you're working on, and maybe take part in some taster classes (or just look in on them!). We'll also have a pop-up shop, with makes from some local sewers and some fabric too! Plus discounted prices on a whole range of our courses and products.
