Draw With Your Sewing Machine

Description

Kirsty Allsop describes this as the “crack cocaine of sewing” seriously it is that addictive!

Learn to draw and write with your sewing machine and use applique to create a gorgeous piece of fabric art to take home with you.

What will I learn?

You will learn how to draw and write with your sewing machine and how to applique with your machine.  Once you are confident with free motion embroidery I will show you how to applique, this is a simple way to add decoration to wall art/clothes/cushions/bags and so much more.   I have lots of fabrics and templates for you to use and basically everything you need to try out these fun techniques.

What do I bring?

Your sewing machine and a free motion foot often called a darning foot.  If you do not have one we can work without it.   Also bring a selection of threads and spare bobbins.

What will I take home?

You will take a home several pieces of stitched artwork and phrases and bucket loads of ideas, tips and techniques.

Workshops at Michelle’s charming country cottage have often been described as “an idyllic retreat” and compared to “a day at the spa”. They are a delightful way to spend a few hours in a truly inspirational setting in rural Ireland. You will receive a warm welcome on arrival and expert tuition but at the same time actively encouraged to explore your own creativity. It’s hard not to feel creative in Michelle’s cottage where you are surrounded by her upcycled pieces of furniture and shelves filled with all sorts of sewing notions, spools of thread and crafty bits and pieces. Not only that but Michelle’s enthusiasm for all things crafty is highly infectious!

Love this workshop but see that the date doesn’t suit.  No problem.  Just drop me an email and I will add you to the mailing list.  Sometimes I even run extra dates if there’s a demand for a particular workshop.
