Workshops

Range of Bags - Saturday 12th March 2022

Starting with a large shopping or Beach bag and including a matching soap or make-up bag with a zip.  Ideal as a gift or present for yourself, for holidays or general use.

Need sewing machine and general sewing kit.  Linen, patterned fabric, zip, lining fabric and interfacing

Crumb Quilting - Friday 6th May 2022

Using scraps and small pieces of fabric, perfect for scrap busting.  Pieces can be as big or small as you want - If there is one thing we all have it's plenty of scraps and this is a good way of making use of them - this can be addictive.  

Need sewing machine and general sewing kit.  Bag of scraps

Small iron and ironing board if you have it, if not don't worry there will be two irons in the room

Bag and Crumb workshops will be held at Nynehead Village Hall, start at 10am and finish at 4pm.  Cost for the day is £40.  Coffee/tea and cake/biscuits will be provided you just need to bring your lunch and a mug for your drink.  If you would like to attend email dottydolly@hotmail.co.uk.  Payment is required before the date of the workshop.

Paper Piecing - Monday 14th March 2022

Most people think of paper piecing as just hexagons but there are so many different shapes and so many designs.  This is a chance to experiment and will make you look at fabric differently, but be warned it can become obsessive

Workshop kit will be available or you can bring your own fabric, basting thread, glue pen and paper pieces

General sewing kit, neutral coloured thread

Easter Eggstravaganza - Monday 4th April 2022

Easter bunnies, chickens, egg baskets, carrots - everything Easter. 

Patterns and kits provided 

Sewing machine, general sewing kit 

Tea/coffee and hot chocolate along with chocolate cake will be provided throughout the day 

Paper piecing and Eggstravaganza will be held in my workroom/conservatory with maximum of 5 people, start at 10am and finish at 4pm.  Cost for the day is £46 which includes cost of kits.  Coffee/tea and cake/biscuits will be provided you just need to bring your lunch. If you would like to attend email dottydolly@hotmail.co.uk.  Payment is required before the date of the workshop.

Sewing Bee Dates 2022

Now have dates for the Sewing Bees at West Buckland Hall, between Wellington and Taunton, Somerset - something to look forward to.  A Sewing Bee is where people who love patchwork and quilting, or sewing generally, meet and spend the day working on their own projects either by hand or using a machine. Although not a teaching day there is a wealth of knowledge (and positive opinions) in the room.  Start at 10am through to 4pm and always on a Saturday.  £15 for the day, tea/coffee and cake/biscuits provided and a good idea to bring your own mug as cups in hall are only one gulpful.
