Learn the basics of sewing and embroidery at free Shrewsbury workshops

People can learn the basics of sewing and embroidery when a series of free workshops are held at Shrewsbury’s Darwin Shopping Centre later this month.

Run by Emily Bennett from local business Thimble and Blossom, the workshops will take place in the Workshop Station opposite JD Sports from 10am to 1pm on Saturdays 15th and 29th June, and on Wednesdays 19th and 26th June [2019].

Emily has been sewing since before she could write. In these hands-on workshops, she’ll share her wisdom as well as her passion and inspire people to create their own beautiful piece of embroidery to take home.

Emily said:

“In these workshops we will learn the basic stitches, everything from stem stitch to backstitch. We will be following some beautiful botanical inspired patterns which we can transfer onto a reusable canvas tote, or bring along anything you would like to decorate with thread such as a T-shirt, sweatshirt or denim jacket and really make it one of a kind.”

Kevin Lockwood, Shrewsbury shopping centres manager, said:

“Come and join Emily in The Darwin Centre to create your own decorative design – ideal for adding a personal touch to your home. These free workshops are open to all and promise to be both popular and fun.”
