Storm at Sea Project Bag with Aitchbee

This is a Brand NEW workshop with Aitchbee – as I asked Helen if we could do a workshop with this wonderful pattern and look at what she produced. Amazing.

In Helen’s words:-

Skill Level: Confident beginners and onwards

Finished size: approx. 14 x 14 inches

Narrative: An excellent project for students of all abilities, these bags are perfect for storing all the fabric and patterns you need to take to class for each project – never lose those patches again! Also great for children’s artwork and colouring paraphernalia or as gifts for sewing friends. Simple Foundation Paper Piecing (full tuition given) creates this traditional Storm at Sea block which can be coloured in so many different ways. By quilting the patchwork panel it is made stronger and the addition of the handle and simply inserted zip finish these bags nicely. Each student will receive a full set of instructions, with colour photographs and diagrams, to complete the project at home. This is a machine sewing class.

We have the samples in the cabin.

Workshop Fee – £55 – (This does not include materials)

Here to Help! with Tina Finbow – Friday 31st October 2025 (10am – 3pm)

Here to Help! This is a new style of Sit & Sew Day with me in the background if you need a little help with your project.  This is mainly aimed at Patchwork and Quilting, or finishing off projects that you may have started on a workshop at the cabin.  It will not include Dressmaking, as this is not an area I cover.

It is help, not a full day’s teaching.  Often you know what you are doing, but need a little help and guidance with your project.

It will need to be booked in advance of the date.

Daily Fee – £20

Limited to 6 People

Liberty Book Cover with Aitchbee

This is a Brand NEW workshop with Aitchbee, making these fabulous book covers, which then make great gifts.

In Helen’s words:-

Skill Level: Confident beginners and onwards

Finished size: approx. 8 x 6 x 1 inches (depending on the A5 notebook/diary you bring to the workshop!)

Narrative: The spikes on this New York Beauty style book cover remind me of the Statue of Liberty; hence the name (nothing to do with fabric company, although this would look lovely made in Liberty’s fabric!) In addition to full tuition for the wraparound Foundation Paper Pieced motif on this lovely book jacket I will be showing you how to make a jacket that fits snugly on your A5 hardbacked book or diary. These make beautiful gifts and with the skills you learn on the workshop you will be able to make covers for any size or shape of hardbacked book or album. Each student will receive a full set of instructions, with colour photographs and diagrams, to complete the project at home. This is a machine sewing class.
