Beginner-friendly sip and sew session to learn basic sewing and patchwork and make tree ornaments from upcycled materials.
Nia Jade Studio is hosting a sip and sew session at Swansea Albert Hall on Sunday 6 December, from 11:00 to 13:00. It's a beginner-friendly workshop with a festive slant: you'll pick up basic sewing and patchworking skills and leave with your own set of tree ornaments made from upcycled materials.
The whole thing is built around the idea of making something by hand rather than buying it. You'll be working with upcycled fabrics, so instead of starting from scratch with new bolts of cloth, you're turning existing materials into something new. The focus is on the basics—sewing and patchworking—so it's designed for people who've never touched a needle or a sewing machine before, rather than those who already have a stash of half-finished projects at home.
And it's not just about the sewing. The session pairs the craft with a drink—a cocktail or a non-alcoholic alternative—which makes it as much about the social side as the making. It's the kind of thing that works just as well as a solo morning out as it does with a friend, and since it's on a Sunday morning, it fits into the weekend without taking over the whole day.
