Tina and Dawn are Platinum members of our VIP sewi

Tina and Dawn are Platinum members of our VIP sewing club. Every so often, when we come up with new class ideas, we need to run a trial to see how it will work for timings and methods, etc, before making it available in the studio.

This week, we trialled our new padded applique, Easter table runner workshop, and it was a huge success.

Look at those smiling faces!!

The class is now available to book with both a midweek and a weekend session available.

Suitable for confident beginners.

And if you'd like to be in with a chance of being a class guinea pig like Dawn and Tina, then consider joining our sewing club too. There are 'sew' many perks once you reach our Platinum VIP level.

We've just launched our latest online tutorial and sewing pattern. These fold up totes are super cute and really handy. They also make great gifts or craft fair sellers.

I know you've heard the news of our fabulous craft

I know you've heard the news of our fabulous craft retreat this May but I also know many of you were not able to make the whole weekend. Well have I got news for you!!!

As we have hit our minimum number required for weekend delegates (thankyou to everyone who has booked so far) I am now able to open up just 8 tables for single day crafting.

That means if you can't make the whole weekend but are perhaps available for one day you can still join us!

Perhaps they really dont fancy crafting but you heard how fabulous our party was last year and you would still love to sewcialise with your fellow sewists and show off a handmade garment on our catwalk.

Well now you can with a party only ticket!! You can even join us for dinner beforehand if you like.

All options available on the newly updated webpage so please take a look and spread the word to your friends and family.

There are also still 11 weekend tickets left either day delegate or overnight and I'd love to have a full house.

We are going to have sew much fun!!!

Its payday and we've added heaps of new stock to our shop. Colourful bright quilting cottons. Beautifully soft viscose wovens and jersey and some Frida Kahlo canvas too!!

Shipping is flat rate to the UK or you can click and collect from the store. Alternatively, pop down and stroke it in person. BTHQ is open 10 till 4 today.

Today we are delighted to be introducing a new challenge to you that is free to join in with. We hope it will encourage you to try something new.

The 'Sew out of your comfort zone challenge' is designed to encourage you to create something that you wouldn't normally try, or to venture into a new sewing territory.

Maybe there is a pattern you think just wont suit you, but you've seen lots of other people making it and are tempted to give it a try. Maybe there is a new technique you've always wanted to have a go at but have been to scared to try. You might have been sewing for years but have never tried a particular fabric or method before.

Sandra has always avoided the Tilly & The Buttons Indigo dress as it has soooo much gathering and she thought it would not be all that flattering. But she's seen me wearing my many versions and has now decided to give it a go.

I have made lots of jumpsuits but have never worked with Scuba before or a Deer and Doe pattern so I'm giving it a go for the first time.

Join us during Februrary and pick something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Be sure to post your progress on social media using the hashtag #sewoutofmycomfortzone and we can all hold your hand in the process.

Hi it’s Sandra. I’ve finished my first project

Hi it’s Sandra. I’ve finished my first project on my #makenine2023 list. It’s the Atlas Bag by Swoon patterns. It looks so pretty but I don’t like it! I used a vinyl that I realised I didn’t have enough of, so lined the straps in cotton, but don’t like that they are then facing upwards with the lining.
The straps are also ridiculously long. The bag is much too wide for my shoulders so isn’t comfortable to wear. Never mind, good reason to try another pattern!
