Rehome Repurpose

Castlefields,

Stafford

United Kingdom,

ST161BQ

Leave junction 14 of the M6 follow signs for A518 Go past the train station, turn right at traffic lights, turn right at the sign for Car wash / re-home repurpose.

I'm going to be teaching from and here and it has free parking and full wheelchair access..which is what I've been struggling to find. and really wanted to offer it to all.
It's still in Stafford and is roughly 10 mins walk from my old place to give you an idea if you have already been.
A good 5 mins walk from the train station so it is easy to get to and find.
It's very bright with a kitchen next to it so again it's better for those who want to make their own food/lunch.
In the past I've had period buildings which have been utterly charming but have been really problematic with stairs and toilets so I have had to make changes so my classes are available to as many as possible and now have a more modern building and set up.

As with all my classes they are set up in a way for it to be highly social and I'll be opting for big tables so everyone can sit around and chat and make friends..I say this as I know some people like to be quiet and sew on their own..my classes are often bubbly and fun and this might not be everyone's thing.
I'll be doing my best to put my Christmas spin on everything to make it cheery and cozy and as always provide everything you need for the class.

This class is to make a jointed leaping fawn which is roughly 35cm x 20cm and I think it would be great leaping in a Christmas tree or hanging from a door handle..a group would look great over the mantle or added to a festive wreath...in different colorways it would be charming as a gift for new parents or used as a large cake topper!
This design is different from all my other makes and classes as this design you don't have to pay attention to the grain of fabrics and is flat and stiff..would be perfect for using up thin embroidery scraps.

This class is best suited to a person who is at a good level and not a beginner as there is a lot of sewing to do and it would be best..in other classes the stuffing can be hard..with this class it's much different and is far gentler in the construction.

With this class I will show you how to create thin sharp and flatter shapes quickly and easily..perfect for those wanting to make mobiles or hanging decorations.

Your creative item can be scaled up or down and with the skills learnt on the day. and it's one of those things that lend themselves beautifully throughout the seasons.

 
Hot drinks and biscuits are provided and you are welcome to bring your own lunch on a Sunday everything closes around 4ish so its best to bring food and snacks with you..there is a Tesco very close by but again closes early on a Sunday.

Workshop places are £120 per person.

Hotel wise 'The Swan'.is about 10 mins walk

Located about 10mins minutes walk from where I will be teaching from it features dreamy interiors and beautifully decorated zones and rooms which are perfect for any occasion.

The Vine'

This is more of a budget less fancy option so please note this.

For a more glitzy affair for dinner and drinks you have 'The Post House'
https://theposthousestafford.com/ 

This place is fantastic and the service and interiors are stunning..it's a real treat and I can't think of a finer place to sip cocktails and marvel at how they have kept the original interiors and welcomed chandeliers and giraffes on board...the staircase alone makes you feel like a millionaire.

For parking there are few to choose from but this is very near to where I work from.

Just a quick note...this workshop is for making a Fawn...please don't come to a workshop and ask to make a life size badger or a huge toadstool or a Panda...I know I shouldn't have to say this but it's happened a few times...many thanks.
It's a structured class with instructions.

Workshop days cannot be swapped around easily..I understand if you cannot make a day as life happens..but I would appreciate enough notice so I can try and fill the position.
Refunds will be given and then you will have to book onto another date if available.
