Join textiles artist Jess Way for a relaxed and creative workshop where you'll make your own quilted cushion cover!
Date: Saturday 24th October, 10am -12.30pm
Join textiles artist Jess Way for a relaxed workshop creating a weighted eye pillow. You’ll start the session by machine sewing a simple pouch and filling it with your choice of ingredients (organic flax seeds, local dried lavender, that kind of thing), then we’ll cut out an external cover, and hand-stitch onto the front- creating a truly unique design. We’ll then machine sew the cover into the right shape and we’re ready to put the weighted pouch inside!
These are brilliant all year round- put them in the microwave for some warmth in the winter, or in the freezer for some cool in the summer. Perfect for relaxation, headaches, and for Shavasana (the relaxation part at the end of a yoga session!).
This session combines machine stitching and hand-sewing- you don’t need to have experience in either, all levels are welcome.
Participants will leave with a beautiful and truly unique eye pillow that can be treasured, or perhaps gifted to someone special.
All fabrics, ingredients and sewing tools will be provided for the session.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
Project
Participants will each make a weighted eye pillow with separate cover- with many options to customise the colours and design of the piece.
This session is 2hours 30mins.
Course Details
Date: Saturday 24th October
Time: 10am - 12:30pm
Skill Level: Beginner friendly- we’ll just be using a simple straight and back stitch.
Group Size: 8 max
Location: Studio Stitch Up, Chesham old town
Machine use, needles, and tools all included - plus tea, coffee, and unlimited biscuits!
If you would prefer to bring your own machine, that’s absolutely fine and just let us know.
Please note: although this class is open to ambitious beginners, we will not be covering all the fundamentals of machine sewing. If you’d like to learn how to sew confidently, please book a 1:1 sewing lesson or join a beginners’ group class. Thank you!
