In this full day workshop we make an advent calendar panel into the finished advent calendar. The full kit with all materials needed is included in this workshop fee. Max six spaces for each workshop to allow for plenty of questions and enough room for everyone.
You are very welcome to bring your own sewing machine, or use a sewing school simple non computerized Janome 219-S Sewing Machine that we have here at the sewing school. Please bring also a sewing kit with fabric scissors, snips, pins, unpicker, a green thread if you do not want to see the provided red thread on the green lining behind, a tape measure, a stiletto if you have one and anything else that you like to have around you when sewing.
This class is absolutely suitable for an eager post beginner, it should not be the very first project you ever sew on a machine but if you have completed a Beginners Sewing Machine Class previously or if you have made easy pouches and cushions previously, you will be just fine. As it is a daytime class, it is suitable for adults and also young people from 16 years of age.
We have filmed the full tutorial for this advent calendar panel for our youtube channel @fabricandfineryhelensburgh, so you could have a wee glimpse to see if this project takes your fancy or if you rather bought the kit on its own and made the advent calendar at home just with the tutorials, you can find the kit on this web shop as well.
However, a full day workshop always gives you not just the opportunity to sew but also to be surrounded by like minded people for the day, to hear new stories, have a wee chat and a cuppa and a change of scenery. On a Sunday you have free off street parking all along East Princes Street, the shop is right across Helensburgh Train Station. For your lunch break you can bring a sandwich or you can nip out to Tesco/Greggs/Subway to grab something nice. The kettle will be on all day, but please note we do not have a microwave.
Please let us know if you have to be careful with some foods so we supply some sweet snacks for you to go with your cuppas that are suitable for your diet, so you dont have to watch the others munching away.
If you had any questions at all, just message us on social media, send us an email via the contact form on this website or give us a call on 01436 672300, we will phone you back as soon as a team member is in the shop (we are not open every day anymore).
I will be your teacher and I am looking forward to this! Irina Agostinelli
