Join us on Saturday 13th December for our Festive Social Sewing Open Studio Session 🎄🧵

Bring along any project you’re working on and enjoy a whole morning or afternoon of relaxed sewing in our cosy Moseley studio. We’ll have plenty of space, endless cups of tea, and of course… mince pies! 🍵🥧

It’s not a taught workshop, but a chance to carve out some creative time for yourself, stitch in good company, and soak up the Christmassy vibes with fellow sewists.

You’ll also get 10% off full-price fabrics while you’re here, plus if you book both sessions, we’ll give you a £10 fabric voucher to spend on the day ✨

Perfect for ticking off a handmade gift, getting ahead with your holiday makes, or simply enjoying a mindful break from the December rush.

How about swapping a Christmas shopping trip for a Christmas sewing day instead? 🎄🧵 Our November workshops are such a lovely way to spend time with a friend — a whole day to catch up, sew, and maybe even tick a handmade gift off your list.

There’ll be plenty of tea, biscuits, and festive vibes, so it’s the perfect excuse to carve out some creative time together before the December rush kicks in.

Who’s your sewing buddy? Tag them and make a plan ✨
