Join me for drinks and crafts and a wonderful social sewing evening at Fairycroft House on Sat 20 June 🥂🪡🖌️

You'll make your own hand-stitched, hand-painted scrunchies to take away. I'll show you how to make your scrunchies using two simple stitches. Then you can run wild with the paints to make them your own.

These sessions are super relaxed and great for beginners and experienced sewists alike. All of the materials are prepared in advance - needles threaded and knots tied. No frustrating faff, just straight to the fun bit!

£35 per person.

Excited to share that I'll be running my Creative Darning workshop again this June. This time I'll be in Saffron Walden with the wonderful Sew Susie.

This is the perfect opportunity to learn a new mindful skill, and hopefully keep some clothes out of landfill at the same time.

I love visible mending because it's such a great way to start thinking about the value of our clothes in a different way, and this plaid darning technique is one of my favorites, beacuse it offers so much opportunity for personal style and creativity.

These pictures are from the last workshop I ran at Haddenham Arts Centre. Some people brought along their own garments to darn, whilst others made practice pieces. I was a really great afternoon, so bring on the next one!

📅 Sunday 28 June
🕛 12pm to 4pm
📍 Sew Susie, Market Row, Saffron Walden

I’ve had a few new followers recently, so I thought I’d introduce myself properly...

I’m Steph, I’m a mum, artist, crafter, maker and scientist, and I run textile classes in Cambridgeshire, UK.

Some things I love ❤
🪡 Historical textile techniques - nalbinding, sprang, bobbin lace, twining
♻ Working with natural and upcycled materials - wool, old clothes, natural dyes, visible mending
👗 Social history of textiles and “women’s work” - how and why were women’s lives so entwined with textile production for most of human history? Who were these women? What were their lives like? How did they feel about their work?
👩🏼‍🔬 Experimenting - earning new techniques, combining techniques, playing with fun and colour!

Sound like your kinda thing? Give me a follow and say hi in the comments 😊 I love meeting fellow textile enthusiasts!

An evening of crafts, drinks and chat - what could be better?

I'll be in Saffron Walden on Friday 10 April for my next Sip and Stitch session, where we'll be embroidering tote bags, inspired by local wildflowers.

If you've not done something like this before, don't worry. The evening is about enjoying the process and the company - having something beautiful to take away at the end is just an added bonus!

I prepare all the tools and materials in advance and take you through everything step-by-step.

This is the first time I'm taking Sip and Stitch to Saffron Walden, so I'd love to see you at Fairycroft House next Friday - and let me know if you'd like to see more events like this near you in future!
