Workshops to improve your sewing skills
Our workshops and events aren’t about sewing perfection. They’re about giving things a go, building your skills, growing your confidence and spending time with people who understand why a day surrounded by fabric is a day very well spent.
Weekly Friday sew & Sip Session
Bring your machine or borrow one of ours, spread out in the workshop, and stitch away at your own pace. Come and go as you please, stay for ten minutes or the full four hours — and help yourself to unlimited tea, coffee, and biscuits while you’re here.
All for just £5.
A little “me time”, a little productivity, and a whole lot of Fabric Obsession energy.
