About the Sew Relaxing Day:
What will I do?
You will sew, relax and enjoy yourself 😊You are welcome to bring any sewing projects you would like to work on.
You can use the sewing time in any way you wish, whether it is using the space to finish the design of your quilt, getting help with fitting and sizing, finishing those unfinished projects, or getting help with where to start with that pattern you bought and looks/sounds a bit alien to you. You can machine sew, hand sew, do your cross stitch, hand-embroider, patchwork, quilt, dressmake or any other craft involving needles and threads.
The choice is really yours, no matter what your skill level is or what type of project you would like to work on! Just come along, and we will be on hand to help you if you get stuck or need advice.
You can take as many breaks as you want, meet other like-minded people, make new friends, share sewing tips, drink plenty of cups of tea/coffee and eat biscuits, or you can sit and sew whole day (we can even bring your food to your table). At the end of the day, you will have access to the hotel spa, to unwind and relax your body, after the whole day of relaxing your mind. You will be leaving feeling accomplished, relaxed and ready for the world outside again.
Do I need to be experienced sewer?
Not at all! You can be an absolute beginner as well as experienced sewer! We will have a minimum of two sewing tutors present during the day, to help, guide and assist you. You will also have the chance to learn from other sewers present on the day as well as being able to see/hear how our tutors are guiding them.
