Social Sewing Club: Open Studio Sessions

The Social Sewing Club is like the sewing and quilting “bees” of the past, but with modern top-of-the-line equipment. (Did someone say automatic buttonholes?!)This is when I open up the Stitch Lounge Studio to anyone who wants to come and sew with friends, old and new. You can use any of my machines, all my gadgets, my cutting table, irons, etc. You can do some research in my extensive sewing library. Most of all, you have company while you work.Come to get advice on tricky projects or browse the extensive stitch-themed library. You can book to come to the studio and use whatever machines are available, or let me know ahead of time if you have a specific need. The cutting table, dressing room, irons, and the camaraderie are always included.I don’t teach during the club, since I will be working on something myself, but I am always happy to help with a bit of “up-skilling”. (I do expect you to have beginner machine-sewing skills to take part. If between us, we decide you need more dedicated teaching time, we can discuss signing you up for a class.)As well as all the above equipment, at Stitch Lounge you’ll find the Janome DM7200 or DM6100 computerised sewing machines, each with a variety of one-step buttonholes and monogramming capabilities on the DM7200. Also available are the adjustable-height cutting table, the steam-generator iron, and a needle felting machine.Book into a Social Sewing Club session to see what it’s all about. Tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided. Social Sewing Club costs £10 per visit, plus the cost of any materials you use. There’s no charge for thread, and you only pay for things like interfacing and elastic that you use. Enjoy up to 4 hours of dedicated sewing time in a fully-equipped studio. Read more details
