Thursday evening sewing and dressmaking class

5.0(2)

By Make it!

Whether you are brand new to sewing or brushing up on old skills our small class is perfect for you to learn new skills. With only 4 people per class there is plenty of time for me to give individual help and tuition. There's no curriculum at Make it! Each student can work on their own projects whether that's home furnishings or dressmaking. There's no point in making a cushion cover if you really just want to learn how to make a posh frock! If you're not sure of what you'd like to make, don't worry I have lots of ideas and plenty of patterns. For beginners, there's no need to bring anything. I have lots of machines for you to try out and endless boxes of fabric and thread to play with. If you have your own machine please feel free to bring it and I'll help you set it up. You don't need to commit to a block of classes. You can book weekly for any of the classes held at the studio. This is perfect if you work alternating shifts or at weekends or even if your look after your grandchildren on the odd occasion. All of the other classes are listed on the main page.

Herefordshire

I have been recycling textiles into rugs and teaching rag rug making since 1986, using traditional rag rug techniques of hooking, progging and plaiting. I believe in re-using, sourcing locally and treading lightly on the planet. My early work was informed by mythology, lore and ethnic art. Recent work has focused more on texture, colour and twentieth century art movements, with Nature as a continuous inspiration. Whilst bringing rag rug making into the twenty-first century, I honour the generations of ordinary people who used their cast-off clothing to make rugs out of necessity. I love helping people to explore their creativity through such an accessible medium and offer courses locally and around the country. I work to commission, exhibit and sell rugs, kits, rug making tools and equipment. I am a member of the Worcestershire Guild – Contemporary Craft, the Creative Breaks Association, the International Guild of Handhooking Rug Makers, TAFA, lowimpact.org and the Heritage Crafts Association. I give talks and demonstrations locally and workshops from the Welsh Marches to the Cotswolds. In 2003 Traplet Publications published my book RAG RUG MAKING, reprinted in 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2014 (currently sold out) and MORE RAG RUGS & Recycled Textile Projects, in 2011, available from me. My work can be seen in: Herefordshire: Timothy Hawkins Gallery, Church Street, Hereford; Made in the Marches Gallery, Kington, Oxenham Art, Broad Street, Leominster and The Courtyard, Edgar Street, Hereford. Shropshire: At Home, The Bull Ring, Ludlow.
