Although I plan to teach a whole range of crafts, primarily I'll be teaching sewing. There are so many people out there who buy sewing machines and end up being too frightened to get them out of the box, which is such a shame!
I've always been a believer in starting basic and building up skills. So I decided the first workshop I would run would be How to Sew Bunting.
So I set the date of 18th August, opened up for bookings and was so happy to see the amount of interest. I've helped countless people set up their new sewing machines over the last 5 years and couldn't wait to start making actual projects.
I want to make it as easy for people as possible. I know from experience how frustrating it is walking away from a workshop and forgetting half of what was said! So I have made a little step by step instruction booklet and templates for people to take away for each of my workshops.
I had a group of six people and it was lovely to see everyone getting stuck in! The fabrics and colour combinations people chose were beautiful. I always love seeing the choices people make as it's all inspiration for future projects.
And perhaps best of all three young girls attended and it's great to see youngsters getting crafty and learning new skills.
After two hours we had four lots of bunting all sewn up. Everyone loved it and I can't wait for the next workshops!
