Welcome to our workshop page. Any upcoming workshops will be listed below and hosted by us in our bright little studio room above the shop. Our hope is to create a relaxing and friendly space where you can learn with like-minded folk in our beautiful creative space. We’re keen to collaborate with teachers who might like to hold a creative workshop here, if this is of interest to you or you might know someone suitable we’d love to hear from you!

Introduction to Machine Sewing

Saturday 11th October / 10am - 4pm

We’re excited to host our first sewing workshop at Handworked in collaboration with the wonderful Helen from Dot N Cross.

If you have a sewing machine and would like to learn how to sew or you haven’t sewn for years and need help getting started again - this is the class for you!

Helen has a wealth of experience having spent 12 years working as a pattern cutter in the London fashion industry for the likes of Karen Millen, Victoria Beckham and Mary Katrantzou. She now runs sewing and pattern cutting workshops in Cornwall and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others.

What we love about this course is it teaches you the very basics of machine sewing right through to making your own tote bag with confidence using the skills you have learnt on the day. It will take place in our bright and airy studio space above the shop. Helen is a warm and knowledgeable teacher and it’s sure to be a lovely day.

Follow the link below to Dot N Cross for all the workshop details and how to book.

* This workshop requires you to bring a sewing machine, its a good opportunity to get to grips with your own machine. However if this is not possible for you get in contact with us directly (at Handworked) as we may have one you can borrow.
