Sew Your Own Stocking

In this two-hour session, we'll be sewing our own Christmas Stocking to match your own festive decorative colour scheme!

We'll use a sewing pattern designed by Holly to mark up the stocking pieces onto your chosen fabrics, before cutting out and sewing up. We can also add an applique initial to the front of your stocking if you wish! You'll leave with not only a completely unique stocking to cherish and use for many years to come, but also with a copy of the pattern and full instructions (including a video tutorial!) to make more at home for all the family.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - prior basic sewing knowledge/experience of using a machine is required.

You’ll need: Nothing - but you are welcome to bring your own fabric/trims if you have something particular in mind!

Materials included: Sewing pattern, fabric, felt (for optional initial applique), thread, scissors, sewing machines.

Tickets: the workshop costs £25 and you can book here - Eventbrite Tickets
