Can you find something you have been waiting for?

What’s your current project?

Days are getting shorter and colder, maybe you’ve got a new or existing project on the go?

But what are you making?

Thank you The Hub at St Mary's for letting us use your amazing space.

Hopefully see you soon for more community sewing sessions 😊

Nope, it's not Christmas yet.... that's just Dagmar's "quick" visit to a supplier 🤔😂

What do you think she brought? Or what do you hope she brought?

🎄 Our Christmas Sewcial is here! 🎄

We wanted to do something a little different to finish the year – no lesson, no project to complete and no sewing machine needed. Just a lovely Sunday afternoon spent with people who enjoy sewing as much as we do. 🧵

Join us at Marston Farm Hotel on Sunday 29th November, 3–7pm, for our Christmas Sewcial!

We'll have our Favourite Make or Learn of 2026 Show & Tell (and it absolutely doesn't have to be finished or perfect!), sewing games and prizes, our Sewing Room Rehoming Table, a handmade Christmas gift under the tree and a few little surprises along the way.

And at 5pm, we'll all sit down together for a proper Christmas Afternoon Tea. ☕🍰

🎄 Sunday 29th November
⏰ 3–7pm
📍 Marston Farm Hotel
☕ Christmas Afternoon Tea & drinks included
🎟 £30 per person

Mostly, though, this is simply an excuse to get together, have a laugh, talk about sewing, celebrate everything we've made and learned this year and enjoy a little Christmas time together. ❤️

Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.

Does your child already know the basics of using a sewing machine and would love to discover what they can do next? 🧵

We have two spaces left on our Children’s Sewing Course at The Fabric Vault, and we’d love to welcome two more young sewers to the group.

This course is for children aged 10+ who are already comfortable with the basics of using a sewing machine. They certainly don’t need to be experts — that’s what we’re here for! — but rather than starting from the very beginning, we’ll be building on the skills they already have.

And we have a lot planned! 😁

We’ll be making bags, pyjama bottoms, skirts, seasonal projects and a summer dress, while learning zips, pattern reading, French seams, gathering, binding, buttonholes, dressmaking, upcycling and lots more along the way.

But the projects are only part of it.

We’ve designed the course so that every project builds on something learned before. Each child will have their own Sewing Portfolio to refer back to and, as their confidence grows, we’ll gradually encourage them to work more independently, make decisions and solve those little sewing problems themselves.

Eventually, we want to hear less of “What do I do next?” and more of “I think I know how to do this!” 😊

Our groups are deliberately small, with a maximum of just four children, so we have plenty of time to help when something is new while still giving them the space to have a go themselves.

We’ve now put lots more information on our website, including our Children’s Sewing Journey, where you can see the projects and how the skills develop throughout the course:

If you’re not sure whether your child has enough sewing experience to join us, just send us a message or WhatsApp us and have a chat with us. We’re always happy to help. 😊

Do you have a child who loves making, creating and trying new things? 🧵

We have just two spaces left in our new Elective Home Education Children’s Sewing Course starting in October, and before the course begins, we thought we’d give children the chance to come in, meet us and have a go.

So on Tuesday 29th September, 9am–10:30am, we’re holding a FREE sewing trial session at The Fabric Vault in Lichfield.

No sewing experience is needed at all. We’ll start right at the beginning, get to know the sewing machine and, most importantly, actually make something! It’s a chance for children to see what sewing with us is like and for parents to decide whether our longer sewing programme might be right for them.

Our EHE Sewing Course isn’t just a collection of craft sessions. We’ve planned a full 20-session sewing journey, starting with the basics and gradually progressing through bags, seasonal projects, pyjama bottoms, skirts, dressmaking, zips, gathering, binding, buttonholes, upcycling and lots more.

Each child builds their own Sewing Portfolio along the way, and as their skills and confidence grow, we gradually encourage them to make more decisions, solve problems and work independently.

The groups are deliberately tiny — a maximum of four children — so there is plenty of individual help, encouragement and time to learn properly, while still enjoying sewing alongside other children.

We currently have two spaces remaining in our first EHE group, and we’re also taking names for a second group if there is enough interest.

The free trial is suitable for children aged 10+, including complete beginners.

If your child would like to come along on Tuesday 29th September, just message us to book their free place. Places are limited because we want to keep this session small too.

And if you can’t make the trial but would like information about the EHE course or would like us to add your child’s name to the list for the second group, just get in touch. 😊

Do you remember our Macmillan coaster making sessions last year?

They were absolutely amazing, we've made coasters, we drank tea and coffee, ate cakes and biscuits and raised money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

And guess what, we are doing it again this year. But bigger and better 😁

This year, we have teamed up with and we are holding two days (Friday 25th and Sunday 27th September). Both will have three sessions (10am-12pm, 12pm-2pm & 2pm-4pm) and can accommodate up to 9 people per session.

So, if you have some spare time, please book in and help up raise money for Macmillan, slightly different way 😊

You can book here: https://thehubstmarys.co.uk/events/sew-sip-support-macmillan/

Or give me a call on 07394 558778

Looking forward seeing you soon
