'I spent a lovely Saturday in Harriet’s studio making her Hannah shirt.
Honestly I can’t recommend this workshop enough,
Harriet is so patient and really helps you but also lets you get on with it and make your own mistakes (believe me I made many!).
I’m absolutely delighted with my finished shirt and can’t wait to wear it.
Thanks Harriet xx'

Be part of a small class with step by step guidance from Harriet in her studio.

All you will need to bring is 1.5m of fabric; either a much loved fabric you’ve been waiting to use or a new fabric that you’ve fallen in love with.
Everything else will be provided.
Lunch is included which will be provided at Depot Bakery, over the road from the studio.
Enjoy your choice of delicious sourdough toasties, home cooked soups and hot drinks
