New *Christmas* Workshops

Good afternoon,

Hope you've had a good week. 

I'm so excited to tell you about a new workshop I'm now running.  It will be a full day workshop 10am - 4pm where you will learn how to use freehand machine embroidery to create a festive table runner for your Christmas table.

We will start the day getting to grips with using your sewing machine to stitch freehand machine embroidery and create wonderfully wobbly lines, before adding fabrics and experimenting with applique. We will then go on to design and make a fabulously festive table centre piece to wow family and friends on the big day! (and if we have time we'll add in some snazzy napkins)

I will be supplying a neutral natural linen colour cotton fabric but if you did have a specific fabric in mind please bring it along with you and I can check out it’s suitability for use with these techniques.

This class is available at New Brewery Arts - Cirencester, Bobbin Sewing School- Stockbridge and Sewcraft - Swindon. Please have a look at my workshop page for details on how to book. 

I can't wait I love Christmas and love crafting so I have a feeling we're going to have a hoot! 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at hello@mayidesign.co.uk

Speak soon

Doesn't time fly?

Good evening,

Firstly may I say sorry for the silence. I can’t believe that it was March since we last spoke.

 A lot has changed and without getting too deep into it I have split up with my fiancée and moved out into my own little pad (it’s sooo cute but very small with very little room to sew). This is why there has been radio silence from me as I get to grips with adulting and fending for myself! So far so good, my little place is still standing and I haven’t keeled over… yet! 

Because of this I haven’t had much space in my new place or in my noggin to do commissions and create new designs. If you have asked me for stitches your patience has been really appreciated.

This Christmas I won’t be taking on many commissions but I will still be teaching. I have a few new dates coming up where I’ll teaching you how to create a free motion embroidered Christmas card and also a brand spanking new workshop where we’ll be making a Christmas Table runner (I can’t wait for this one). I’m just finalising a few dates but I’ll get back to you asap (none of this 6 months of silence malarkey)!

Anyway thank you for your patience and I’ll try to post more often and not be such a stranger!

Speak soon (I promise).
