Relaxed in-person sewing afternoon for the local community to make their own pyjama bottoms, with no prior experience needed and a fashion show at the end.
SEW INTO COMFORT is a sewing afternoon at The Almere in Central Milton Keynes on Sunday 15 November, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. It's run by Fola Folasanya, who describes it as a calm, welcoming session for the local community to unwind, sip and create. The whole afternoon is built around making your own pair of pyjama bottoms, with the festive season and cosy evenings in mind.
Fola walks you through the process step by step, so you don't need any sewing experience to take part. You'll bring your own fabric and sewing machine, and the session provides practical guidance as you go. All the trimmings and sewing materials are provided on the day. For the fabric, fleece, silk, cotton or satin all work well, so you can choose based on how you want your pyjamas to feel. If you're a complete newcomer and aren't sure what to buy, Fola asks that you email her before you pick up your fabric for a bit of advice.
The afternoon ends with a relaxed fashion show where everyone gets to show off what they've made. It's a nice way to wrap up the session and see how different fabrics turned out across the group.
