The Workshop
Get ready to sprinkle a little handmade magic over your festive season! Join Melinda for a joyful workshop where you’ll create a gorgeous appliquéd Christmas mat using beautiful seasonal fabrics. Perfect as a heartfelt gift for someone special or to keep and treasure on your own Christmas table.
This workshop is all about more than just sewing. It’s about:
- Soaking up the festive spirit with like-minded crafters
- Making something meaningful to gift or keep
- Learning new creative skills in a relaxed, welcoming space
- Enjoying the cheer of the season, with conversation, laughter and maybe even a little festive music to inspire us along the way! (only if you are not already fed up with too much by then!)
Whether you’re a seasoned maker or completely new to applique, you’ll be guided step by step to create a unique mat that will bring colour, warmth, and joy to your Christmas celebrations for years to come.
So grab your sparkly festive spirit, and come stitch a little joy with us ... we can’t wait to craft together!
