Overlocking made easy
With their ability to simultaneously cut and stitch a hem, overlocking machines are incredibly useful for decorating, reinforcing and constructing garments and other items. But they can be a bit intimidating! In this workshop, we’ll demystify the overlocker by teaching you how to thread, adjust tension and differential feed, and deal with corners and curves. You’ll leave the workshop with a set of rolled hem napkins, in your choice of gorgeous solid or printed fabrics!

Hand-carved stamps, cards & tags
Ever stuck for the perfect greeting card? Now you can carve your own stamps, then put them to use to create handmade cards and gift tags or jazz up plain wrapping paper! You’ll create one or two stamps of your own design, take away a stack of cards and gift tags, and leave with the skills to make more at home.
All materials provided, including rubber carving compound, wood to mount your stamps for easy use, plenty of paper for cards and gift tags, an instruction sheet to take away plus use of all specialist tools, glues and pigment inks during the workshop. (We’ll also have supplies available in our shop after class.)
No experience necessary; we’ll help you shape your designs, reverse and prepare images, cut and clean the rubber, plus teach you to use ink in innovative ways.
