I'm taking a break from one to one in person sessions. Join my mailing list below to hear when I'll be back.

 

I’ll come to you and work with your own machine, offering tailored support perfectly suited to your pace and skill level—whether you're a beginner or more advanced.

 

Together we’ll tackle any specific topics you'd like to cover and go through any questions as they arise.

If you have no idea what you'd like to do, or maybe you're a complete beginner, we can take it right back to basics and work through the on screen design process and focus on your machines features. Whatever works best for you.

 

Sessions are available in blocks of three or five hours, with bespoke quotes provided based on your UK location and the time required.

The Sewing & Embroidery Retreat in Kent

Currently held at

Holiday Inn Maidstone - Sevenoaks
London Road
Wrotham Heath
TN15 7RS

 

Hosted by Rachel Bunney, Janice Croft and Caroline Waddington

Between us, we have a combined 130 years worth of experience working in the sewing industry!!!

 

But also a mutual love of sharing this knowledge with others and helping people to enjoy sewing and embroidery as much as we do, and to learn something new!

The main aim of our retreats is to make them as relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable as we can, with everyone spending some quality 'me' time stitching away, having the opportunity to learn something new while catching up with old friends

and meeting some new ones too!

Come and join us!
