Join us for an engaging and creative workshop where you will have the opportunity to explore the delightful art of cushion making with our resident upholsterer and textiles maker Ruth Martin.

Using a carefully selected array of gorgeous and vibrant fabrics, we will guide you step by step in creating a stylish piped cushion that features a functional zipped opening. Throughout the session, you will learn essential sewing techniques that will enable you to thoughtfully design and produce a zipped cushion adorned with elegant and eye-catching piped trim.

This hands-on experience not only enhances your sewing skills but also actively encourages creativity and individuality in your crafting journey. By the end of the workshop, you will proudly take home your very own beautifully crafted 40x40cm cushion, which serves as a testament to your newfound skills, creativity, and effort.

Whether you are a seasoned sewer looking to refine your skills or a complete beginner eager to learn, this workshop promises to be an enjoyable, enriching, and fulfilling experience for everyone involved.
