The children are encouraged to show their individual creativity and imagination with a choice of different fabrics, colours and embellishments where possible.

• We cater for children aged 7-10
• We also cater for children aged 11+ with different projects for each group.
• Projects include hair accessories
• tote bags
• decorating T-shirts
• decorating tote bags
• cushions
• and lots of other ideas

Every child will leave with what they have made and there will be a special gift for the party person.  Prices for the Sewing Parties are £120 for up to 6 children and £10 for each additional child maximum 10 children. All tools and materials are included in the price so there are no hidden costs!

We will be pleased to discuss your exact requirements.
