About this Event

🧵 Sewing in the Sunshine with the Family! ☀️

Put down the screens and pick up a needle!

Join us for a nostalgic, hands-on afternoon where we trade "tech time" for "together time." Whether you’re a pro with a thimble or have never threaded a needle, this workshop is all about passing down the beautiful, "old-fashioned" skills that used to be a staple of every childhood.

From hand-sewing to the basics of knitting and crochet, we are on a mission to keep these wonderful crafts alive for the next generation. It’s the perfect excuse to bond with the kids and maybe even learn a new trick yourself!


📅 When & Where
  • Date: Monday, 26th May
  • Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • Where: The Hidden Garden Cafe 15 St Peters Street Ipswich IP1 1XF
  • Who: Children and their favorite grown-ups (Parents, Carers or Grandparents!)
  • Price: £10 per child includes all materials and take-home kit
  • 🧸 What’s Included?
  • Handmade Friend: Their very own "cute-as-a-button" stuffed teddy bear made during the session.
  • Summer Style: A custom-made summer bracelet (for the wrist or ankle!).
  • The "Take-Home Kit": A mini sewing kit featuring an extra project to keep the creativity flowing at home.
  • New Skills: The confidence and know how of basic sewing skills, a gift that lasts a lifetime!

✨ Why Join Us?

In a world of screens, there is something magical about making something with your own two hands. We’ll be exploring skills like:

  • Hand Sewing basics
  • Introduction to Knitting & Crochet
  • French Knitting - Just like Grandma used to do!

A Note for Families: All children must be accompanied by an adult. This is a collaborative experience designed for families to work together.

Why not bring Grandma or Grandad along? They’ll love sharing their wisdom and seeing the little ones pick up these classic hobbies.

Rain or shine, we’ll be sewing with a smile.
