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.

About your mentor

Annabelle Davis @ The Oast Studio

From Sutura Workshops

Annabelle Davis @ The Oast Studio

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.
