Beautiful buttonhole and button skills
Sat 12 Jul 2025, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Fun times for sewists and their sewing machine at any level. Complete beginners or long time stitchers … everyone is welcome to spend a Saturday morning with us, sewing and eating cake.
We will be offering a number of Pick and Mix workshops over the Summer.
A workshop with the aim of developing your skills in machine made buttonholes and covering a button in the same fabric as your project.
You’ll learn how to place your buttonholes and where to sew your buttons in relation to them for the best appearance and fit. We’ll be making a little flex tidy to achieve these results.

Bio: Kathryn Dearn
I’ve been a keen crafter from as long as I can remember but I’ve always enjoyed trying something new and a bit different. Appliqué is a great way to use up scraps and have fun with fabric.
