WORKSHOP REMINDERS….
Pat has just sent out our 1st e mail
reminder regarding workshops planned for the future.
TOMORROW !!!
If you don’t already know, we have Gail
Lawther (an International Patch worker from Kent), coming along to talk
to us. She has written several books, and
has also made some sewing DVDs. Her talk this time is ‘Glimpses of New Zealand’,
and she is doing a workshop of the same title on Thursday 2nd May
we have a couple of spaces on this workshop which will be at Blaby Baptist Church.
10.00 till 4.00.
As part of our 25 years celebrations
we are offering some extra workshops (several have been requested by
yourselves) and I am listing them below:-
Vivs workshop on
Saturday 25th May - A
bit of book, or a book of bits
This looks like a fun workshop with Viv
and I am sure we are in for a great day, There are 5 spaces on this workshop
and it is being held at Ashby Magna 10.00 till 4.00 the class being
limited to 15.
Also following Linda Rudkin’s talk last year we
are having her to do Flower Pounding and Flower Trapping workshop.
This is on Saturday 8th June
also at Ashby Magna 10.00 till 4.00. We
have quite a few spaces on this workshop so if you have a friend that might like
to join the class they would be made most welcome.
We also have Ruth Jarman coming for 4 days

Wednesday 12th June -
Bernina Embroidery module
course, this class is for those folk with automatic embroidery module machines
( I am sure must take a bit of sorting out).
Thursday 13th June -
Mastering the automatic memory, programming patterns and alphabet. I
know some of use have done this course, but it’s usually at the end of the
class (and we don’t quite get it). This class only has a couple of
spaces left
Friday 14th June - Mastering
your sewing machine. Learn how to
thread your machine and set your tension
correctly; when to adjust for a perfect
stich, learn about different needles, straight stitches, how to seam and neaten
woven and stretch fabrics, blind and decorative hems, button holes and basic
introduction to embroidery, cleaning, oiling and lot of problem solving.
Saturday 15th June -
Embroidery and Decorative stitch
techniques, techniques including satin stitch work and couching
techniques, cut work, scallop hem and corded, using twin needle for embroidery,
practical work pin tuck with and without cord.
And as Ruth says “ it won't just be what is on the programme, there is always new stuff
with Ruth and as they haven't had me for so long there is going to be
SOOOOOOOOOOOO much new stuff. If they have not done mastering then they are
missing out So much. Everyone should do it, even if they have been sewing for
50 years, New tricks!!!! Maybe the Embroidery class we should make a FUN
DAY - TRICKS I have So many, Twin stain glass, Hemstitching, Turned edge
Applique, Hand-look stitches”
You learn so much in Ruth’s class, and
the class always over runs by at least half an hour.
All the classes are £20, and £25 for non members who are most welcome.
