Rebecca Woollard Sewing School & Haberdashery

rebecca woollard sewing school & haberdashery

Hertfordshire,

We started our Sewing School in 2007, providing a range of dressmaking, soft furnishing and creative courses. Our day courses are mostly subject-based and take place at the weekend but some are also offered on a Friday. Our evening classes are own choice and you can choose to attend on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday. Most of our courses are suitable for any ability, whether you are a complete beginner, returning to sewing or already an experienced sewer. Over the first couple of years of teaching, we found that our customers were finding it difficult to source haberdashery. After some research and sourcing haberdashery wholesalers, we started an online shop. In 2012, while looking for a permanent base for our Sewing School, we came across the opportunity to open our retail shop in the pretty village of Hatfield Heath, near Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire. Our shop offers a wide range of quality products including haberdashery, dressmaking fabrics and knitting yarns. We are a Janome/Elna sewing machine stockist and we also service and repair sewing machines.

Bee-spoke Quilts

bee-spoke quilts

I have been sewing for as long as I can remember, starting with making dolls clothes as a child, and later progressing onto dressmaking and then quilting. I attended courses and over the years have developed my own style and designs. My aim is to give this traditional craft a contemporary twist with the use of vibrant colours and bold designs. I make all the quilts myself in my home studio. I have a flair for combining colours to create a strong visual impact The inspiration for many of my designs comes from the countryside and creatures which surround me, from pecking chickens, frisking horses and buzzing bees to poppy fields and beautiful garden flowers. My quilts are exhibited at national craft fairs throughout the UK and have been featured in 'Country Living' and 'Aspire magazines'. They are shipped worldwide. Quilting Workshops... Would you like to spend a relaxing and stress free day or weekend? Would you like to learn to quilt? Come along to one of my quilting workshops, run regularly across Herefordshire and Wales. Expert tuition is given. Workshops are open to anyone who can already use a sewing machine and would like to start quilting. Quilting is a fun and socible craft to learn and great for de-stressing! Contact me by email or telephone for dates and booking forms.

Green Man Quilts

green man quilts

It had been strongly suggested at school that I didn’t continue with the sewing classes, after I cut my skirt along the fold line of the pattern, made a pigs ear of the french seams in the nightie and did who knows what damage to the domestic science apron (all we had to do was hem it and chain stitch our initials!). Those were the 3 projects for that year! Dismal! But I went home, told Auntie Mary about it and in a weekend she taught me more than I had learnt in the whole year. And inspired me to create things of beauty! I entered – and got first prize in the dressmaking competition at school the next year! My initial interest in quilts came from the Laura Ashley patchwork packs from the 1970s and 80s. Laura Ashley fed my passion for colour by selling me various bags of fabric – off-cuts, pre-cut hexagons – the lot, and with these I started my journey into quilt making. As a primary school teacher in the 80s I ran quilting clubs and worked with the children to create items for school fetes and the like. At this time I was a teacher member of the Quilters’ Guild and supported the Young Quilters team with a variety of workshops. I am no longer involved with Young Quilters though I have maintained my involvement with the Guild, serving as Festival of Quilts Officer from 2016 until 2021 and as a Trustee from 2021. I began to make quilts seriously in 1995 after I first attended a workshop taught by Judith Wilson in St Albans. Following this super introduction, I attended a number of courses taught by Judith over the next few years. I then successfully completed the City & Guilds Certificate in Craft and Design (Patchwork & Quilting) at Missenden Abbey taught by Barbara Weeks and, after a few years break, the City & Guilds Diploma in Craft and Design (Patchwork & Quilting) at Missenden Abbey taught by Janice Gunner. I have been influenced by the quilts exhibited at The American Museum, Bath and the V&A; and by many different quilters, a few of whom are referenced in my blog. My inspiration comes from the natural world, folk traditions, story and music and I am particularly drawn to Modern and Improv quilting. This adventure in craft and design, through quiltmaking, has led both directly and indirectly to some of the pieces on this website…. take a peek!
