Workshops at Sew and So's

 

I enjoy teaching at Sew and So's near Bungay with a lovely light teaching space and a wonderfully stocked shop fully of textile goodies.

Thread Bowls is running as a one day workshop there on Sunday 29th March 2026

10am - 3.pm

We will use soluble film with sheer and glitzy fabric and LOTS off thread to stitch a delicate, yet surprisingly strong, thread bowl.  A good one to try free motion machine embroidery without too much stress. 

To book go to  www.sewsos.co.uk/courses/thread-bowls-with-mary-mcintosh

Then on Wednesday 8th April there is a Shrivel Up and  Dye one day workshop where we will create a highly textured panel using a shrinkable wool base and lots of lovely silks, satins, cottons, linen and lace fabrics.

Learn about procion dyes when we dye our piece at the end of the day ready to take home to wash (and shrink)

Workshops at £45 for the day. Plus materials.
