Description

Create the bow everyone wants this Christmas—and beyond.

Step into the cottage for a gorgeous, joy-filled day of sewing as you learn how to make the season’s must-have décor piece: a beautifully structured, oversized fabric bow. With all materials provided (fabric, wadding, ribbon and wire), you’ll discover how to create a show-stopping bow that looks stunning on a door, above a mantlepiece, over a mirror, or simply hung on its own as a timeless decoration.

Once you’ve mastered the large bow, I’ll guide you through scaling the pattern so you can make smaller versions at home—perfect for garlands, gifts, cupboards, wreaths, or everyday display. These bows aren’t just for Christmas; they bring charm and character to your home all year round.

The day itself is the kind of experience you’ll want to savour: the fire glowing, soft festive music in the background, endless warm drinks and sweet treats, and a gentle, creative rhythm that feels like a deep breath in the middle of the season. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sewist, you’ll leave with a beautiful bow, new skills, and the uplifting pleasure of having made something with your own hands.
