  • Wellington Sewing Day [Date: TBC]

    ,

    Do you love sewing?! Perhaps you have a sewing project you need help with? Are you having trouble fitting that dress to your shape? Not sure how to achieve the desired result or know where to start? Want to know how to get a more professional finish? Or maybe you just need an excuse to get out of the house and make time for yourself to do what you love, in a dedicated sewing studio with like-minded people (let's be honest, life does have a habit of getting in the way and sometimes we need an 'event' or deadline to get us doing what we wanted to do anyway).

    Come and join in our Sewing Day and get all the help and support you need from Lowana O'Shea as you work on your individual projects. This 'Sewing Day' is intended to be fun, casual and full of the shared enjoyment of sewing. Bring along anything you're working on (or wanting to start) and give yourself the excuse to get some serious work done on it. Want to see what we get up too? Click here.
