We had a great time on the beading class last week. Thanks to Tamara for her lovely words on Facebook. “Still buzzing from this class yesterday! Such a blessed relief from a particularly grinding few weeks of work. We learnt some standard techniques that will get us through a great many jewellery projects to come. I took home three pieces – a bracelet, earrings and necklace – that I’m still wearing with pride A lovely day, fun atmosphere, great teacher. Already got my eye on the copper clay class…” Here is Tamara and some of the jewellery she made.  ...

Tracey has been busy refining the pattern and instructions and making up a sample for our dressmaking class next week. The dress is a classic design that will suit many figure shapes. It has a crossover infront of the bust and pleats to allow you to shape it depending on how full you want it. Darts in the back help the shaping and the skirt length can be adjusted to above and below the knee. Sleeves can be short or three quarter length so it really is a flexible pattern that you can make your own. We have made the sample up in a plain polycotton but it will look lovely in all sorts of fabrics. We still have a couple of places left on the class  on Saturday 24 November and we are running the class again on Saturday 2 February 2013. To book your place click...
