Every so often I hold a workshop in the soft furnshings workroom here and often in aid of a charity. The next one will be February 6th 2015. On this occasion all the proceeds will be going to the Save Our Lido appeal which is for the restoration of the Jubilee Pool in Penzance which was battered by the storms of February 2014. It was opened in 1935 and is one of the few remaining art deco outdoor pools in the country. www.jubileepool.co.uk
In addition to the two holiday cottages we have a converted farm building here, where myself and several part time ladies make bespoke soft furnishings for clients local and further afield. www.finecurtains.co.uk
I have an ever increasing pile of small remnants of fabric left over from clients soft furnishings projects here in my workroom. So a very good friend and myself are holding another covered coathanger and tisuue box cover making day. So what does a bespoke covered coathanger look like you ask?
The photo below is one of our delighted participants the last time we held a similar event.
So, if you’re interested it’s Friday 6th Feb 2015. Lots of food, fun and laughter and you learn new skills. Every penny of the £35 per head will go to a good local cause too.
Morning session 10.30 coffee and cake, practical session – 1.00 then lunch
Afternoon session begin with 1.00 lunch then the practical session followed by tea and cake
So the two sessions are open to all and if participants feel that they lack the necessary ability then that’s a challenge we love, as we guide them through at every stage and there’s a delicious lunch too.
And if you really are too daunted by the prospect of threading a needle but would like to support the Lido then I am making some to sell @ £9 and again, all the proceeds to the appeal. Just send me an e mail to order!
