Question 1

What kind of thing can I bring to mend?

Accepted Answer

Non-stretch (e.g. not knitwear), woven cotton textiles such as trousers, shirts, blouses, canvas tote bags, sheets, pillow cases, etc. Avoid clothing with linings or waterproof finishes.  Message me if you're unsure, or just practice on scrap fabrics provided.

Question 2

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

There are numerous council car parks around Shrewsbury. Abbey Foregate is the closest and is free on Sundays.

Question 3

Is this class appropriate for those with learning differences?

Accepted Answer

This class is taught by one tutor. She does not have a qualification or significant experience teaching those with learning disabilities. If you still wish to attend but need additional support, please message before booking. I will create a special free ticket for a learning support assistant.

Question 4

Is this a sashiko class?

Accepted Answer

While the topics covered in this class can be applied to sashiko, this class will not cover that traditional Japanese technique. We will focus on freeform stitching, creating your own designs, with some examples and templates provided.
