Coiled Rope Sewing Workshop

Join us for a fun day in the Craft Barn for this NEW! beginner-friendly coiled rope workshop.



6 hours Class size 4 to 8 guests       £70 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join us for this new workshop making wonderful creations with rope.
The day will involve an introduction to this versatile material, learning how the effect of different stitches impacts the shaping of your creations and how to add colour.
You will be working on your own sewing machine with a heavy-duty (jeans) machine needle. Your own machine is best as it is familiar to you and will also be set up for you to continue this addictive technique at home.
We will start with a simple coaster and then move on to explore placemats. They can be kept simple or enhanced with coloured threads and wrapping to produce unique designs and colour variations.
Once this skill has been mastered, the choice is yours to explore. You can produce a set of coasters or placemats, or move on to produce a small bowl. Everything you produce is yours to take home, along with the knowledge to make more.
What you'll get
Includes: tea, coffee & biscuits. The cost of materials is excluded but will be provided by the tutor. Please allow £15-£20, payable in cash to the tutor on the day for what you use.
Knowledge required
This is a beginner-friendly workshop, although you must have some working knowledge of your sewing machine.
What to bring
Please bring:
  • Lunch
  • Sewing machine (with instruction manual)
  • Heavy-duty (jeans) sewing machine needles (bring spares just in case!)
  • Basic sewing kit (scissors, pins, needles, tape measure, threads, bobbins, etc.)

female Women-owned

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
