In addition to our busy class schedule and weekly social events, we love to host special events at our West Hampstead shop! Here is what we have coming up over the next few months:
Swap It! (FREE)
Sunday, 3 March, 2:30pm - 4:30pm
We are partnering with local fashion blogger @misskatie_styleit to host our second social event for those who love all things fashion! This is a fun chance to swap clothes you don’t want for clothes you do! Plus you'll get to spend the afternoon drinking prosecco and chatting about fashion. If you own too many clothes, have outfits you don't wear and want to refresh your wardrobe, this event is for you! Sign up for a free place here.
Meet the Designer: Ana Valls of Cocowawa Crafts
Saturday, 30 March, 2pm - 5pm
This year we are celebrating local pattern designers with a series of special events! Join us in March to meet Ana of Cocowawa Crafts, and independent sewing pattern company based in London. Ana has created sewing patterns for women and girls since her first pattern launch, the Marshmallow Dress, in 2016. Her patterns feature comfy designs and geometric shapes with a sweet aesthetic and cute distinctive details. Ana also teaches sewing classes, films videos on YouTube Channel and co-hosts the London Stitchers MeetUp.
At this event you'll get to see the the newest patterns sewn up, meet Ana and ask her your burning sewing questions and drink prosecco! Plus you'll get 10% off any fabric you purchase along with one of Ana's patterns! It's going to be a fabulous afternoon in the shop!
The Great Stash Swap (FREE)
Sunday 24 March, 2:15pm - 4:30pm
It’s time to clear out your crafty stash! Bring that unloved fabric that’s been lurking in your stash since CDs were new, that skein of Peruvian hand-dyed yak yarn that you really don’t know what to do with, or any other fabulous craft supplies that you just haven’t got around to using and swap them for something beautiful that sparks joy! The event is free but please book online to reserve your place and make sure we can send you all the details.
Paper Flower Making for Mother's Day (FREE)
Sunday, 31 March, 11am - 5pm
Join us for our second annual paper flower making event in honour of Mother's Day! This is a free event, open to all, and is a perfect activity for families of all ages! We'll serve prosecco and cake and you'll be able to play with our lovely paper flower making supplies and take home what you make! No need to book.
Great British Sewing Bee Finale Party (£10)
Tuesday, 2 April, 7pm - 10pm
It's baaaaaack! We can't wait to watch the Great British Sewing Bee and we'll be hosting a party at the shop so we can all watch the finale together! There will be a big screen, lots of bubbly and plenty of nibbles. Book your place here.
Easter Egg Dyeing Workshop (FREE)
Friday, 19 April, 11am - 2pm
We are so excited to host our Easter egg dyeing workshop in the shop again! This is a fun, free event where we'll show you how to dye your hard-boiled eggs American-style using Paas egg dyeing kits. The event is free and there is no need to book, but you MUST bring your own hard-boiled eggs. We recommend 3-6 per person. We'll provide everything else you need to dye and decorate your eggs! Eggs can be eaten after they are dyed so they won't go to waste.
