  • Tote Bag – make a striking quilted tote bag over two Saturdays - 18th & 25th October, 10am – 3.30pm. This class is suitable for beginner quilters – however, you do need to be able to use your sewing machine. £90/person for the two sessions, which will include wadding and the magnetic clasp. You will also need 5 fat quarters and 0.5m of fabric for the lining. Ideally, you will purchase these from us! If you are interested, get in touch.
  • Make a Quilt – do you have a quilt that you have been wanting to make, need some help finishing or getting going with a quilt? We are looking to offer you a chance to have tutored support and guidance in order to achieve your quilt. An initial couple of sessions here at the In Stitches shop on a Saturday morning enabling you to set up your project and work out your plan of action, with follow up sessions to be held at Tamzin’s studio in Nailsworth. Starting on Saturday 1st November, 15th November and 22nd November as the first three sessions. £35/session and we will need you to commit to the first 3 sessions, therefore, advance payment will be required.
  • Tetbury Yarn Fair - Sunday 12 October - we are in such good company with the most amazing local yarn producers, dyers and all things yarny!
  • Advent Calendar - Come and join us for a day of fun making a wonderful advent calendar. Saturday 8th November, 10am - 3pm. £60/person including main fabrics. You will need to bring your sewing machine, 1/4" foot, walking foot and threads and the rest can either be purchased at the shop or borrowed! We can hire you a machine too if you would like to join in but don't have a machine (however, you must be able to use a sewing machine!).
  • Diary Cover 2026 - yes I know its a while before 2026, but I am forward planning! This is a one day workshop where you will create a beautiful quilted cover for your 2026 A5 Diary – or an A5 note book if you would prefer (I have a few of these in stock). Saturday 10th January, 10am – 3.30pm. £65/person excluding fabrics. This is beginner friendly, however, you will need to know how to use your sewing machine. During the class you will also get a chance to use those beautiful decorative stitches on your machine – you know, the ones you never get round to using!

 

We are constantly planning new classes which are advertised initially to those who are on our mailing list. If you would like to be one of the first to know about our new classes, workshops and courses, drop us an email: info@institchesstroud.co.uk
