thimbleberry sewing
Hi, I am Geraldine Christie the owner of Thimbleberry Sewing. A small
independent sewing/crafting venue since 2020 in Elderslie, Scotland. It’s a
place to learn new skills, built confidence and meet new people. All classes are
run from my home in a sociable and welcoming environment with a maximum of four
students per class. I cater for those who are complete beginners or more
advanced sewists. I have always had a passion for sewing and crafting and
learned to sew from an early age. You could say its in my blood as I come from a
long family tradition of sewing, passed down from my Great Grandmother. Although
I could sew I wanted to learn more and trained at Cardonald College in Glasgow
where I achieved an HNC in Clothing Technology. I then set up my own Dressmaking
business specializing in Bridal wear. After some time I wanted to pass on my
skills and teach. After completing a BA in Consumer & Management Studies (Home
Economics) and a PGDE teaching Diploma I was qualified to teach. I taught in
Secondary schools for 12 years so, with over 30 years sewing experience you are
in safe hands.
