Sewing club launch!!

I am launching a brand new sewing club in Wolverton, the first session begins October 7th.
Classes are every Monday from 7 - 9.30 and Tuesday 12 - 2.30

Come along and learn how to create and decorate fabulous textiles for the home and family, make new friends and learn new skills.

All ages (13+) and abilities welcome.
Learn all the basics; how to use a sewing machine, make new items or customise/alter your own. Or, try your hand at Textile Art and learn how to embellish using creative techniques such as fabric printing, free machine embroidery and appliqué.

If you would like more information please ring me on 07876140154 or take a look at my website www.scissorsncloth@rocketmail.com (will be updated soon).

Booking required due to limited places.

£10 per session all materials provided, discount given on block bookings.

Hopefully we will have lots of fun making colourful creative textiles using lots of different techniques.

Printing Kits

Throughout my textiles course we tried many different types of fabric decoration, some I have shared on here. From my playing I have developed a couple of kits for anyone out there who would like to have a play. As with my patterns I have written colour step by step instructions for those who have never tried anything like this before. The kits contain everything to be able to play immediately on opening the box, which many kits out there don't allow you to do. Take a look and see what you think, some feedback would be nice! As usual, available on Etsy at a very competitive price!!

Foam Block Printing Kits

Fresh from the printing table

The weather has gone from a glorious sunny week to a miserable cold few days. I seems like no sooner you put away your jumpers you are getting them out again! Almost like someone is trying to catch us out so they can point and laugh when we go out togged up for winter and the clouds part and we are left sweating in 30C sunshine! At least with the greyness outside it is a lot less tempting to be playing in the garden!

I have been playing indoors with a bit of fabric printing. They are all fat quarters, the fabric was dyed the other day in various ways. The second two are magenta but for some reason it hasn't shown up as nice as it really is. This fabric is printed with a very simple foam printing block which produces some nice vintage type results.

The fabric is destined for glasses case, which I am sure you would have worked out already!
