The Sew Unique Thread Journal Day course is an inspiring workshop where I will be sharing tips and techniques that will help you to create your very own thread journal. We will be learning the skills and techniques you need to add to your own project. This includes your Complete Kit and Course worth £45 as well as a pizza lunch (to be selected upon arrival).

Don’t be put off by the commitment of creating a stitch a day, because this journal could be a weekly, monthly or even the occasional stitch. The beauty is, it’s yours and therefore, so are the rules! There will be plenty of time for questions on the day with our expert led workshop and hands on course.

This meet up will be suitable for brand spanking new or experienced stitchers. Just think of it as a creative, self care hour to yourself that help you to create miniature stitched memories to treasure for years to come.⠀

I will be offering hands on & one-to-one demonstrations every step of the way, to ensure you feel happy & confident to continue hand embroidering beyond the workshop.

We will be aiming to complete a number of stitch techniques during the session, however, there is no rush! Embroidery is a great way to relax & unwind, so it is more important for you to take your time and enjoy.

You will also receive online instructions with hyperlinks to my series of fully narrated video tutorials (just in case you need a little reminder when you get home).

Archive Bar & Bottle is situated right next to Cheadle Hulme train station (which is only an 18 minute train journey from Manchester Piccadilly). Limited parking is available right outside the bar and there is addition parking available at the train station for those of you driving to the event.

I am a big advocate of supporting small, local, indie businesses so Archive was a clear choice for me. Offering a plethora craft beer & gin whilst themselves supporting small distilleries & breweries.

I can’t wait to meet you!
