unique finished fabric could be made into a wall hanging, framed art,
turned into a cushion, bag, scarf or whatever you fancy! A fun and
relaxing day.

Hand Stitched Wall Hanging
Spend a gentle day making and embellishing a fabric wall hanging with
places to display your favourite objects. Construct a simple removeable
pocket for pebbles/sea glass and other treasures.
The fabric is
naturally dyed and will reflect the soft palette of nature, which you
will then enhance with hand stitch and embellishments. Stitching could
include rice stitch, French knots, running stitch and maybe you could
make some lovely Suffolk puffs. Your tutor will be on hand to guide and
inspire. Forget your worries and enjoy a mindful day full of creativity.
This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those looking for new
inspiration for their existing sewing skills.
All materials, lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Soft Furnishings - Make a Cushion
Make a beautiful cushion cover in a day, using the fabric of your
choice. Cushions are a perfect first project for getting to know your
sewing machine or starting on your own soft furnishing adventures, and
are a brilliant way to refresh your decor without redecorating your
entire room.
Cushions are also a fabulous way to show off the art works you have
created in other Westhope workshops, including our spring Batik, lino
block printing and embroidery workshops. Turn your finished piece of
fabric into a unique cushion for your own home or as a gift for someone
special.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners who are
looking to get to know their sewing machine better, to more experienced
makers who want to spend a day creating something lovely.
A light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee. You
will need to bring your own fabric and sewing machine.

Textures on the Seabed
Join us for a day of fun machine embroidery and textile technique and
experimentation as you create your own fabric art. This workshop is
inspired by the structure of corals, brain coral, leaf shape, branch
patterns... and a few more.
We will echo those textures using
'crashing,' a stitched steaming technique, making Neptune's necklace and
tendrils using soluble techniques, and hole making with scrim, hand and
machine embroidery methods to build a crunchy delicious surface to frame
up. Lots of ideas to play with.
For this workshop you will need to bring along your sewing machine and
be confident enough to use it, although the tutor will be on hand to
support you throughout.
Most materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the
workshop fee.
