We Gathered And Stitched Again!

I’m happy and inspired after a week of Christmas sewing workshops!

We created handmade Christmas angels and fairies with lazy-daisy stitch heart-shaped fairy mouths, embroidered eyelashes and plaits galore, lace dresses, woolly jumpers ( and drawers!), sparkly Dorothy shoes, diamanté tiaras and crystal wands. 

And the Tearooms at Sugnall Walled Garden provided us with mince pies and delicious cakes!

 

And then there were couture velvet stockings with faded floral cuffs, embellished with velvet flowers, tassels and bells. 

 

My heart is full. It was fabulous to fill the Peach House at Sugnall Walled Garden and my attic studio with kindred spirits. And I enjoyed all the stitch-a-long chatter. A huge thank you to everyone who came and to the ladies at Sugnall who provided us with delicious refreshments.

And it left me thinking… can we do it all again? 

If you missed out and would like to get together a friend or two for a creative festive gathering this side of Christmas, do get in touch. And I’m thinking about more gatherings to give us all something to look forward to next year.

Happy sewing!
