Beginners 7 Week Quilting Course

A one on one tuition session to learn quilting and patchwork.

I often buy clothes and accessories spontaneously. This results in a wardrobe full of pieces that don’t pair with anything. “I have nothing to wear….” I hear you say. A handful of treasures just hanging in there before progressing into a charity giveaway bag. Not if you know your true colours that will elevate your look and mood as well as save money and the environment. Based on this colour analysis we can create a capsule wardrobe using your existing pieces and follow your colour chart to purchase matching items in future. Whatever fashion dictates, buying less and more consciously will reduce waste, save money and creates a wonderful wardrobe you can be proud of! The analysis is based on inherited tones as well as personality. Based on 4 seasons: spring and autumn being warm and summer and winter cool in the colour spectrum.

Make your own cushion to match your decor. We have over 1400 different, 100% cotton fabrics for you to choose from. You will be able to take home a beautiful, hand-finished Cushion that you have made yourself with the guidance of Alan. Your cushion will be approximately 18" to 20". Get to choose your own fabrics for the cushion cover. The cushion filler is high quality, hollow fibre, professional filler that does not squash after being used once. Everything you require is provided in the course fee so there is nothing else to buy once you have paid the £40.00. Generally, the course is two hours in length but the main aim is to leave with a finished item so if it takes longer then that is ok.

Who says what's right for you? How aware are you of how much you actually drink each week? Is it more than you want it to be? Does it take the edge off your performance? Or do you just think it's time to change? This session will challenge the way you think about drink. It's not about what someone else thinks you ought to drink - it's about your own attitude to it. Take away a completely fresh way of thinking about drinking. Get some insights into 'how come' you drink what you do. Find out what you can easily do to drink less. During the session you will have the opportunity to take a fresh look at: Your drinking habits - casual/social drinking, habitual drinking, binge drinking 'How come I do this'? How we think about habits 'How could I change my drinking'?
