Learn some vital NOTHING NEW skills!

I am pleased to announce that I have confirmed dates for the NOTHING NEW Workshops! Taking place at The Craft Studio at Berylune in Leamington Spa you can have a look at a map here.

Introduction to Nothing New Living 2pm Wed 19th September - click to book!
I will show you how to re-fashion old T-shirts into fabulous shopping bags (never need to buy another 'bag for life' again!) + funky cushion covers (with a personal story, not 'just from Ikea'...). This workshop is suitable for total sewing beginners with the main aim of having a fun! Whilst giving you a taste of the satisfaction of making stuff from things that would otherwise be destined for the charity shop.

Cost is £27.50 for a 3hr workshop and includes drinks and cake (home-made and trust me, delicious!). Remember to bring some T-shirts to re-work...all equipment and trimmings are provided.

Examples of what you will come away with at the end of the workshop

Fashion Re-Workshop 2pm Wed 26th Sept + 2pm Sat 6th Oct - click to book!
An afternoon of helping you make the most of your wardrobe! In this workshop I will help you alter an item to better suit your style. Either bring something along or come an hour earlier to go charity shop shopping (may fave hobby) and I will help you turn your item into something you will actually wear! We all have those things hiding in the back of the wardrobe that we once loved, or an amazing vintage find that isn't quite the right fit (but was faaar to gorgeous to pass up) - now is the time to breathe new life into them. Suitable for people who have used a sewing machine before, but may not feel comfortable altering clothes.

Cost is £39.00 for the afternoon including drinks and the aforementioned amazing homemade cake. All equipment and trimmings will be provided. Now get raiding those wardrobes!

Getting rid of sleeves can make all the difference..and I can show you how!

T-shirt Cushion Cover

Sometimes you just cant bring yourself to part with your favourite old t-shirts. Some hold great memories and some just have the best graphics...but they lose shape, get faded and sometimes just don't fit anymore. But keep the good times alive and have them made into cushion covers! I made this one for my boyfriend, who has just moved into a van. He had to downsize and get rid of so much stuff, but at least this tee was saved and made into something more useful...and most importantly, not thrown away!

Pretty Cushion

On our camping trip to Cirencester I also found this beautifully made crochet lace cushion cover. I love it and it's something I can keep forever that will never go out of style. All that satisfaction for £2.49 from a Cancer Research shop...
