'Making' a comeback


 'Making' a comeback


Since opening the shop last June it has given me a huge insight into just how many people 'make'. Whether it be sewing, jewellery making, painting or ceramics, there are so many creative people not just locally to Topstitch but throughout the UK and no doubt beyond that.

I absolutely love running workshop and as they are gaining popularity I am meeting more and more like minded people. Ideas just bounce around the room when a group of creatives get together so socials will become a more regular event at Topstitch.

Next up in our social calendar is the Stylecraft crochet along which is running in the UK and is a free downloadable pattern available on the Stylecraft website from 7th April fortnightly for 8 weeks.

We will be holding our socials every fortnight and offering the yarn pack at a discounted rate to both locals and crocheters across the UK. Socials run from 6-8pm every fortnight at a cost of £3 which includes refreshments and any help you need during the project.

Continuing along the crochet route are these gorgeous kits from TOFT which are 100% wool and are a great price of just £20.99 in the shop and via our facebook page  .

It's getting very close to our Spring Fair and we have a great group of crafters lined up so what better time to give you a sneaky peak at my table set up which was taken at Staining Farmers Market which runs on the first Sunday of every month
