Creative Sewing weekend

Artist / Organisation: Jennie Rayment & Wendy Gardiner

1-3 October 2010

Workshops available

‘Trip around the World’ – quilt in a weekend with Jennie Rayment
Use this clever patchwork and quilting technique to create a memorable piece whilst enjoying a weekend of sewing fun and laughter with Jennie.

Heirloom sewing and clever embellishment with Lorna Knight
Lorna will share her tips and techniques to create exquisite stitching suitable for heirloom pieces, from christening gowns to beautiful table linen or even a tunic top. Learn faggotting, clever use of twin and wing needles, pin tucks and cording plus much more.

Make it – your choice with Alison Smith.
Bring a garment you are making or wish to make and Alison will draw on her fabulous wealth of experience to help with fit, techniques and embellishments. Whether you choose a beautifully fitted blouse, cocktail dress, soft lingerie, sassy skirt or speed tailored jacket, Alison will guide you through the process so even if you don’t get it finished, you will be able to do so with confidence at home.

The venue
As usual Creative Sewing Weekends are held in Dunford House, a beautiful 18th century house, set in 60 acres of beautiful woodland. All rooms are en-suite and the package includes full-board plus evening entertainment and workshops on Saturday and Sunday. (We can also offer day rates for those not wishing to stay in the House and partner rates for those who wish to bring a partner.) We also offer a 20% reduction for those willing to share a bedroom.

The weekends start at 5pm Friday and finish at 4pm Sunday.

Your hosts
The events are hosted by Sewing World Editor Wendy Gardiner and Fabric Manipulator Jennie Rayment, who are on hand throughout the weekend to ensure you have a relaxing, trouble-free weekend.
