A relaxed and fun sewing workshop suitable for complete beginners and those with a little experience. Starting with the basics we will introduce you to using a sewing machine and hand sewing skills, and you will make a Japanese-inspired Bento Bag - a simple but effective cloth bag, great for produce (for plastic-free shopping!), reusable gift-wrap, craft projects, knitting yarn, toys and more.

FAQs

How do I get to Bristol Textile Quarter?

BTQ is five minutes walk from Temple Meads Train Station and plenty of buses stop at the station. If you are driving there is free on street parking on Barton Road outside the studio on Saturdays and Sundays. Other local streets have pay and display parking on Saturdays.

We are opposite the Barley Mow pub - the orangey brick building, ground floor. Look for the grey door that says 1A Barton Road and ring the BTQ bell.

Do I need to bring anything?

No, all equipment and materials will be provided and you will be able to take home any items you have made. Just a word of warning, we are not centrally heated, and although we have electric heaters if you think you might need to, bring an extra layer. It should be comfortable enough though.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Feel free to email or call Mary if you have further questions. maryyarwood@yahoo.co.uk 07815 553849
