Here’s what people are saying about our courses…

“The course made a perfect end to my holiday in St.Ives, big thank you to Poppy for a fabulous day!! A great day sewing and a lovely lunch too…oh and a fab goodie bag (a nice touch).”

“Marvellous course, a real treat and a memory to treasure!”

“Great to have a whole day doing something for fun with a lovely group of likeminded people”

And here’s what you will be doing on one of our courses…

The course is suitable for beginners and for those that want to take things a bit further. Learn the basics of freehand machine embroidery and come away from the day with a completed project, such as a tea cosy or a bag.

Poppy will provide 8 of her old singer sewing machines but participants are welcome to bring their own machine (it would help if you’ve had a go at freehand on the machine as Poppy can’t spend much time trouble shooting on machines she’s not familiar with!)

It’s also great if you want to bring any special scraps of fabric and pictures and photos to work from for inspiration.

The course starts at 10am and finishes at 5pm and will be held at Poppy’s workshop near Penzance.

You can also buy one of our courses as a gift for a friend. We will send you a printed confirmation in one of our greeting cards which you can present them with. Please note the terms below are still applicable although we may be able to switch bookings to an alternative date with enough notice.

The little print! There are 8 places on each course and we need 5 people booked on the course for it to go ahead. In the event of there not being enough people booked participants will have a choice of booking on to another date or a full refund will be issued. Payment in full is required to book your place on the course. If you are unable to attend the date you have booked for any reason we will refund you in full up to 4 weeks before the course date. You will be entitled to a 50% refund up to 2 weeks before the course date and no refund thereafter however you are more than welcome to send somebody else in your place.
We will contact you prior to the course date to confirm that it is running and to confirm the location to you. All courses will be running just outside Penzance, west Cornwall.
