This two day workshop suitable for those who have a little bit of dressmaking under their belts and which to build their skills including collar construction, button placement, buttonholes and gathering. We will be making the Lyra Dress from Tilly and the Buttons. This is dress is a dream and can work in every season. By signing up you will get a copy of the pattern (sent to your home when you sign up) and two days of workshop time with hands on tuition and instruction from Hannah.


You will need to buy your own fabric. 


The reason for sending out the pattern ahead of the workshop is that there is a lot of sewing in the Lyra dress particularly if you go for the longer length dress and sleeves - if you wish you can get ahead by cutting out your pattern ahead of the workshop or making a toile to check fit on the bodice. Any questions on sizing or fabric choices just get in touch. 


This is an intermediate sewing workshop so we suggest that you are comfortable using a sewing machine and have made a garment or two before. 


Whats included - your pattern to keep which retails at £15.50, full tuition, tea/coffee and homemade cake. 


What to bring - fabric and notions and your copy of the pattern, lunch and your sewing machine (unless you plan to borrow one).

Learn the unique techniques of the fascinating art of Goldwork Embroidery with a comprehensive design that samples essential specialised goldwork stitches and techniques.
Goldwork is mainly "laid work", much different to other embroidery techniques in that the threads and wires tend to be laid on the fabric rather than stitched through. The result of this is a very rewarding and highly textured finish.
You will learn about appropriate fabrics, how to correctly frame up your piece ready for sewing as well as discovering the many types of goldwork thread and wires available and their application.
We combine traditional wires with contemporary threads to widen the scope of goldwork embroidery.
The course is broken down into lessons, with practicals which form a finished project. Along the way, you will be given professional hints and tips to ensure you are learning to the highest standard and incorporating best practice.
Included is access to your highly experienced tutor via e.mail for six months after purchase of the course.
(We make every attempt to answer e.mails the same day).
Maire has over 25 years of hand embroidery experience, working with couture designers around the world.
A kit of materials accompanies this course which has almost everything you need to complete the design. This will be mailed to you upon registration.

Learn how to weave without a loom, using a wooden board, and a needle and thread!
Whether you’re a seasoned weaver or a total beginner, these little creations are magical to do - and better yet, you can do it from your sofa!
Discover a new skill, meet like-minded people and enjoy the rewarding feeling of having made something beautiful from scratch.
In this workshop we'll put functionality and fashion aside for a moment to celebrate woven cloth, and the structures used to create it.
Twills, herringbones, dogtooth, hopsack - typically part of a functional product, a garment or home furnishing - now shown in a different setting, as artworks, to be displayed and admired as a painting or a sculpture would be.
We’ll take our time to learn about the history of the fabrics we are weaving, and why it's important to challenge the mentality around fast fashion.
Though first developed for its functionality, weaving has long been practiced as a form of expression, like many other artistic disciplines - but in today's fast paced fashion culture, we have started to think of textiles as 'disposable’ - and the craft of weaving is perceived as devalued.
Through these weavings, we’ll re-familiarise ourselves with the human input that goes into our clothing, and the skill, patience and craftsmanship of the makers.
These little woven studies are magical to do, and using a needle and thread is a great exercise for getting to grips with the basics of weaving without the complexity of the loom.
If you would like to purchase a materials kit, please get in touch with me well in advance of the workshop date.
If you'd prefer to gather your own materials, you will need:
- Three bases to weave around (I use A6 pieces of birch plywood, (postcard size) with 3mm thickness but you can use anything vaguely rectangular or square, just make sure its strong and won't bend. Tiles work well, old coasters, slate, some people have even used old books and record sleeves!)
- Double sided tape
- A needle (a regular sharp one will be fine, but I use a flat 'bodkin' needle)
- Yarn! You can use any yarn for this, though I would suggest starting with something on the thicker side. I will be demonstrating the first design using rug wool. Then I will move onto a regular knitting wool thickness, and then on to cotton embroidery floss (6 ply)
- Simulations of the woven structures to use as a guide (these will be sent out by email for you to print at home)
- Scissors (not your best fabric scissors, as we will be using these to cut tape)
- Pencil
- Ruler


A Zoom link will be sent to participants by email upon booking.
You will receive instruction manuals a week prior to the workshop, so that you can familiarise yourself with the method
A video recording of the workshop will be available afterwards, that you can look back on as many times as you like, at your own pace.
