Upholstery Workshops

Upholstered & Lined Storage Crates with Cream Tea! (all-day Workshop)

Sew would you like to spend a sunny Saturday in June learning basic upholstery and making an upholstered vintage storage crate! … in the morning we will make the upholstered top to the vintage crate & line the underside of the lid with a matching or contrasting fabric … Stop for a cream tea lunch - hopefully outside in the sunshine! … then continue to make a lining bag which is actually a removable bag so you can grab the contents of your crate in one go (particularly good if you use your crate as a laundry crate … whip out the lined bag and take it to the washing machine!) … genius!

You will need to be able to use a sewing machine (Sew Dotty will show you how to make step by step and a demo on how to achieve you removable lining bag). Sew Dotty to supply all - (and this is reflected in the price) … included is the crate, foam, MDF, lining fabric, outer fabric, velcro & sew on! I have lots of fabrics to choose from but you may like to bring your own fabric to fit your home colour scheme (I can advise on how much fabric you will need).

Sew Dotty will supply the machines, tools needed for upholtery and a yummy cream tea lunch with nibbles too! (please advise re dietary requirement upon booking). A fab workshop sewing & making with like minded people and you will go home with a fabulous lined & upholstered storage crate for your home handmade by you!
