Creative Workshops

It's been a busy day here at Topstitch and I wouldn't want it any other way. 

Today has been all about Patchwork Quilting. Five ladies joined me in the workshop and learnt how to join eighty patchwork pieces in just three hours. Some of the ladies even managed it in two. 

Using a method which means multiple pieces can be sewn together faster and with more accuracy our super sewers were given the skills to take on patchwork without it being such a lengthy process.

The seams were ....well seamless, they were ultra accurate meaning the overall finish was incredibly neat and tidy. 

Once the workshop was over the ladies seemed spurred on to give their new found skills a try at home and I can't wait to see what they create. 

We don't just cater for adults. While the patchworkers were sewing, in the front of the shop my Mum was teaching some much younger creative types how to rag wreath. The girls did an amazing job and really showed off their creative flare.

A full list of workshops is available on our facebook page and in the shop itself. Why not try something new or brush up on a craft you have been working on already?
