Another Month Flown Past!

Christmas-Themed Sewing Classes

Yikes it’s almost December. November has flown past! It’s been a busy month at Artisan Stitch, what with the Christmas-themed sewing classes running and the end of another term for the Dressmakers. Dana, a dressmaking novice, completed her first ever skirt and it’s absolutely lovely. She even attempted a concealed zip and totally nailed it! Ann is using the class to learn patterncutting and has made her own trouser pattern, and Julie is making a ballgown in red silk.

Thanks to all those who came along to the Open Studio event on Saturday.

It was a very popular day and lots of new faces visited Cockenzie House and Gardens to see everything that goes on within. We have artists, furniture upcyclers, glass and jewellery, textile artists, health practitioners and musicians all opening their doors and demonstrating their various skills.
