Sunshine Friday


Well the sun finally came out and the beach called.

My trusty laptop and I headed off to the edge with a flask, a blanket and a need for clear air and skies.


You can't beat the feeling of the sand between your toes and the sun on your shoulders for creative inspiration and the afternoon was spent completing the brochures, posters and marketing for my new WORKSHOPS. The perfect opportunity for anybody with a sewing machine to come along and make beautiful things with fabric and thread powered by cake - obviously.

Running every week at the gorgeous new Studiofourseven at the top of Fore Street in Redruth, these friendly and supportive groups are aimed at all levels and all abilities. If you want to refresh your skills and remember what all the knobs and whistles on your machine actually do, book a place and come along.

If you would like a gentle and relaxed space to build your confidence with your machine and to develop the skills to make beautiful textile treasures for your home, you family and for yourself, call or email me. You can try us out with a Taster session and then come back as many times as you like...

We will be adventuring into the wonderful world of Freehand Machine Embroidery,  this amazing technique breaks all the limits you thought there were to sewing machines! Create luxurious textile paintings, drawings, text and explore the third dimension with sculptures made entirely of stitch.

The details are on the WONDERFUL NEW WORKSHOPS  page on the top right hand corner of this blog. Call me or email to ask all the silly questions you want to and book your place with a small friendly group of people just like you.

And on the beach...

Finally the sun goes down over the sea and after the typing is complete, my latest project designed to keep the wind out of my hair and the sun out of my eyes is complete.

Watch this space ... there may be a new line in Hooky Hats to come...

And so home to watch the sunset.
