Handbag workshop was great!

Hello Crafters and Stitchers

 Last night we created some lovely handbags using the most wonderful designer fabrics from Amy Butlers' Love collection and Kaffe Fasset. Everyone quickly made  their choice of  fabrics  and set down to make their handbag.
The design for this pleated bag was not particularly difficult, but it required precision cutting and more sewing than we normally fit in on one evening. Fitting a magnetic clasp was a bit nerve-racking the first time, but all turned out beautiful.  Have a look at this one..




So, if you like what you see on our blog - why not sign up for one of our workshops. Beginner or not, there is always something that is interesting and fun to make and you have a great evening out.

PS. As usual - Amanda had a real treat for us with her Marmalade Cake with the coffee and tea.  After some requests, we will give in and publish recipes  in a separate section shortly (no, this will not become a baking blog :-) )

Welcome to The Happy Stitcher Workshops!

Thank you for visiting The Happy Stitcher workshops. This is the place to find all the information about our craft workshops in Haslemere.

In addition to our popular bag making workshops we offer a number of new workshops this term, including crochet for beginners and making baby booties.  Other new workshops are currently in development and details will be posted shortly.

The toolbar on the right has a list of this term's sessions. Just click on the workshop you're interested in to find out more, check availability of places, locate contact numbers or book your place at a workshop.


Our courses are held in the Oonagh Jeffrey room at Grayswood Village Hall. The room is large enough to accomodate all our crafters whilst at the same time it has a warm, cosy atmosphere. There's more information about our course venue if you click on the venue link.

Each class is equiped with everything you will need to complete your chosen project, this includes sewingmachines.
We pride ourselves on our small class sizes, the maximum workshop size is 10 participants, allowing for excellent tutor support and one-to-one time for participants should they need it.
