SHABBY STITCHED HEARTS with Kate Crossley

2-hour workshop – cost £38.00

Join Kate for a two hour creative workshop making your own Shabby Stitched Heart. 

You will combine hand and machine stitching with repurposed and new fabrics, lace, ribbons, buttons, and embellishments. Explore appliqué, visible mending, patchwork, and the art of attaching found objects to create a piece uniquely yours. 

This workshop is about storytelling, transforming scraps and treasures into a tactile keepsake that carries memory, texture and charm, while celebrating the narratives stitched into every heart.

Advisory Note: 
This workshop is suitable for anyone age 16+, with a working understanding of a sewing machine.
