Cushion Making
Annabelle Davis @ The Oast Studio
A summary
Join us to step away from the busy world and have fun learning some essential sewing skills as we explore the art of cushion making.
You will learn:
How to set up your sewing machine - and some trouble shooting
How to understand the different qualities of fabric
How to sew and finish seams neatly
How to insert a zip, add buttons and buttonholes and make ties
How to add piping and other trimmings
What's included:
A large selection of fabric remnants
One 45cm x 45cm cushion pad
All other materials needed
If you would like to chose your own fabric, please bring half a metre for your cushion. A medium weight cotton or linen are easiest to work with and appropriate for this project. Please avoid velvet or any fabric with a nap.
Alison from The Oast Bakery will treat us to some of her delicious baking and plenty of teas and coffees to keep us going.
You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine, or use one of ours.

I have always believed in the value of learning with our hands. More and more, we live in a world where anything and everything can be obtained at the touch of a button or the swipe of a screen, but this lacks the essential human connection and results in our increasing disconnection from the material world. I work with both private and commercial clients making cushions, bags, homeware and all manner of other sewing projects as bespoke commissions. I have worked with Molly Mahon for the last 7 years, alongside teaching group and one to one workshops. I have over 15 years' experience teaching both children and adults how to work with fabric and textiles.

Cancellation policy
Refunds are not generally available, but may be considered with sufficient notice.
My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
