Dear subscriber,
Studio News
Hello, welcome to my second newsletter!
It's been a frantic and exciting few months at the studio both teaching and making and I am now a student myself doing a Postgraduate course in Creative Pattern drafting. So here are some bits of news and things coming up on the run up to the festive period.
I have a great new 'Zine' made which has new dates or classes in. It's available to pick up in and around The Textile Workshop, but i will be posting a PDF version very soon online.
New Frilly knickers class date set
With the overwhelming success of the first 'Frilly Kickers' class i am running it again on Monday 30th November 6.30-9.30pm. This is a perfect opportunity to have a fun filled evening and learn to make your own knickers and they are a perfect Christmas present for friends or just a great treat for yourself. Click here

Christmas Craft markets
I am selling at the following two craft markets a seletion of beautiful gifts for Christmas or special treats for yourself, ranging from customised jumpers, clip frame purses to hand embroidered brooches.
This coming Saturday is the Christmas Contemporary Craft Makers Market in Sherwood, Nottingham. There will be about 30 makers and will be showcasing the local makers in this area. I am so pleased to be part of this local event as i went along last year and there was such a buzz in the air. It's a great opportunity to support local makers and buy some truly beautiful and unique handmade gifts. Click here for more details.
