Want to be more sustainable this festive season? Learn how to sew a fabric bottle gift bag and a fabric gusseted rectangular gift bag in this friendly half-day workshop. These bags can be re-used for many years, so no more wrapping paper thrown in the bin. You might find you like them so much that you only give them to people who might return them!

The bottle bag has a weighted bottom, is lined, and has two ribbon handles. The rectangular gift bag with ribbon drawstring is suitable for boxed gifts or books. It can be made in multiple sizes once you have learnt the technique.

At the end of the workshop you will take home one of each type of bag.

Bring your own fabric, either festive or a choice that could be used year-round, and a sewing machine.

Suitable for beginners and improvers - some basic sewing experience would be helpful.

Join us for a playful workshop creating landscape art from paint and stitching. Mixed media is a wonderfully creative way to work – there are no rules – just a willingness to have a go and experiment.

First you will create your own landscape art using intuitive and playful painting techniques such as inks and bleach, watercolours and wax resist on paper.  Then you will work on your paintings using free machine embroidery, effectively using stitch as a mark making tool to enhance
the painting. You can bring along your own photo to work from, choose from a selection from the tutor, or invent your own imaginary view to create a piece of work that can be framed and displayed or given as a gift.

All skill levels welcome. No prior experience is necessary. Delny is an experienced teacher and will guide you through the creative process and respond to individual needs and ideas.

Please bring your own sewing machine. If you do not have one but want to attend, please contact the college to discuss in advance.

All materials, light lunch and refreshments are included in the course fee.

Join us for a lovely and useful one-day sewing workshop: make a simple apron with a cross-over back. The apron slips over the head and has a double pocket at the front. You will learn how to cut out a simple dressmaking pattern and sew it together on a sewing machine. You will also learn how to adjust a pattern to fit you as desired. As well as your finished apron, a copy of the pattern is yours to take home and re-use as often as you like.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers.

You will need to bring a sewing machine and your choice of fabric with you on the day.
