Learning how to hand sew a button hole gives a beautiful useful skill when making or altering your clothes, and this grows your connection with your clothes through this hand-work.

Hand Sewn Buttonholes: November 16th 1pm to 2.30pm

This is a workshop suited for adults only, no children please. Bookings are essential and non-refundable.
