What should I wear to a textile class?
Comfort is key! Opt for loose-fitting clothes that allow for easy movement, preferably made of natural fibres like cotton. Avoid wearing any loose jewellery that could get caught on tools or materials.
Are sewing workshops good for groups?
Absolutely! These workshops are perfect for group activities, whether it's a birthday celebration, a team building exercise, or simply a fun day out with friends.
