Special Event! Husqvarna Make & Take Day

Pillowcase, oven door hanger and needle keeper

 Join us Wednesday, May 2nd for three fun and interesting classes with special guest Marcelle Dos Santos. From 10am - 12 noon, learn heirloom sewing on a beautifully trimmed pillowcase - learn to use a pin-tuck foot and other twin-needle stitches. From 1pm - 3pm, you can free-motion stitch a handy oven-door hanger, and from 4pm - 6pm, make the cute and useful needle keeper, trying some alphabet stitches and a binding foot.

Each class is only 70dhs, and includes all materials. And the best news -- you don't have to bring a sewing machine! We will have a variety of Husqvarna Viking sewing machines all set up and ready to use. If you already have a Husqvarna, you can bring it along if you'd like to try the new feet out on your own machine.

Space is limited and classes are only happening on May 2nd, so don't miss this chance -- Take one class or take them all! Register in Craft Land now.

Marcelle will be visiting us from South Africa

Special Embroidery Clinic

Calling all embroiderers:
By special request; at next Monday’s clinic (23rd Jan) Christine will be showing a couple of embroiderers a different stumpwork technique called needle lace.

She will show them how to set up the work and create a detached lace leaf using perlé cotton.

If you would like to come and learn this wonderfully versatile technique, bring along two pieces of plain cotton or calico to fit into your hoop, perlé cotton and your needles.

As a bonus, Christine will also demonstrate and teach how to make simple and beautiful delicate beadwork embellishments to add to her embroidery from our new collection of Mill Hill beads now available for purchase at Craft Land.

To join this clinic, simply drop in Monday at 9:30am and sign in for the clinic. The cost is 50dhs as always.
 
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday!

Start the new year with a new skill!  We will be running 2 wet felting workshops with Miriam Walsh in January.  Join us on either Sunday, January 8, 7:00 – 9:30 pm, or Sunday, January 15, from 7:00 – 9:30 pm.  Wet felting uses water and friction to turn wool fibres into a felted fabric.  Mix colours to create a unique felt that can be used to make a bag, mat, cover or cut it to embellish other projects.  Wear old clothes, and come prepared to get some exercise!  Come in and book your place today.
