HANDMADE CHRISTMAS – MAKE A CUSHION
Join Isabella to learn how to make a cushion to your own design to cosy up your winter decor. Everyone loves a cushion! What an amazing gift. For yourself? Great idea.
You can use fabrics from our donated stash, or bring your own. Bring a cushion inner of your own, or we can supply a new one (45cm x 45cm) at an additional cost of £3.00.
You will learn how to measure, design and construct your cushion cover. You will also be shown sewing techniques to make up your cover, using one of our modern electric sewing machines.
You don’t need to be an expert sew-er to do this workshop; beginners are welcome.
ABOUT ISABELLA
I joined the MADE team almost at the beginning and completely by accident. I came in to help set up a window display and stayed. My main creative love is for all things textile, sewing first but also knitting, weaving and hand spinning. I made all my own clothes and home furnishings and ran a fabric shop for home dressmakers in Edinburgh. I also love vintage sewing machines, the iconic old black ones that granny once owned. I have my own collection of these and have refurbished and restored many more. Through my business, Sew Vintage, I make and sell upcycled cashmere accessories and other household items such as cushions, aprons and tote bags, all from upcycled and vintage textiles and sold exclusively at MADE.
