📣 Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and managed to enjoy a little bit of today without any rain!

Excuse the long post but I thought I’d just give you a Creative Club update as I’ve just added new dates for March.

As you may have seen, I’ve had to take a few weeks off from doing workshops to allow a hand injury to heal. This is something that is ongoing and so I really do need to make sure I can manage my sessions going forward which means a tweak here and there.
I need to cut down on the materials I use for each session to make it easier carrying heavy boxes and lifting.

So this is how things will look like from my first session back on Feb 28th 👇

✨I’ll be designing activities for you all using less materials but also similar materials. There will still be a great choice of options for you to make but I won’t be bringing everything I own with me!! Tbh you prob wont even notice much difference but it will really help me!
So a sort of streamlined Creative Club!!

✨There will always be lots of sewing materials on hand such as preloved and vintage materials, buttons, lace and cottons for you to make something handsewn. All sewing options will be able to be made with simple stitches and so suitable for beginners.

✨ New!! Fabric Journals!
These are like a Scrapbook for sewing! You’ll be able to buy one from me for £12 each if you’d like one and slow stitch your own fabric collages in… it’s basically junk Journalling in fabric form!!
There will be some lovely fabric scraps, buttons, threads, lace etc to use to sew in your journal with to make it your own. You can then choose to bring this with you to a session,
rummage through my materials and spend time adding to your pages.

✨ I have decided not to offer junk Journalling at each session but every few months this will be a main activity.

I hope this all makes sense!
Creative Club will still be the same with lots of choice and inspiration for you to create your own wonderful things!

🌺 The theme for March is Spring so think flowers and Mother’s Day!! 🌺

I’m already looking forward to starting back and I only ended my last session yesterday!

Love as always,

Sarah xx

❤️❤️ Appreciation post ❤️❤️

For the last few months I’ve held a monthly craft session at in Biddulph and it’s grown into a really fabulous group.

But, sadly, today was my last session there.

I’d just like to say a huge thank you to Alan and Kerry for letting me use their great space and to all the lovely ladies that have come along.

I really want to be able to keep this group going and so I’ll be on the lookout for another suitable venue in Biddulph so watch this space.

We’ll all miss you

What a horrible couple of days we’ve had here in North Staffordshire, so much wind and rain! How’s it been with you?

Yesterday’s dog walk was so cold that I actually got brain freeze from the wind! 🥶 😂

Ive been thinking long and hard about ways to jiggle Creative Club around for the future and I’ll tell you all about it on Monday.

I’m going to take 3 weeks off workshops after tomorrow but will start back with a session at Newcastle Library on 28th Feb 1-3pm.

You can find my March sessions are on my website to book… just a little heads up that the one at the Roebuck sells out quickly and so please do book your places asap if you’d like to come along!
Www.thecreativeclub.space

But who would be up for a daytime session again in Leek if I can get one booked? Let me know!

Have a great Friday, even in the rain! ☔️Sarah xx

❤️ When lovely customers say nice things about your little business, it means the absolute world! ❤️

I know I can’t always get it right, but I try very hard to make each session as enjoyable as possible and to get such positive feedback makes it all worthwhile.

At the moment, while I’m planning for sessions going forward, these comments keep me going!

Truly, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Last night was all about the hearts at Roebuck, Leek. Titanic Brewery

Crafting, eating chips, enjoying a drink or two and having a natter is the perfect recipe for a Wednesday night!

Thanks so much to everyone that came along, you were such a lovely group!
And thank you to the Roebuck for looking after us as always ❤️❤️

I’ve got one more session this week at Mix a Gift in Biddulph and then I’m taking a couple of weeks rest before returning again in March.

My next session at the Roebuck is live to book:

Creative Club at Roebuck, Leek- Wed 4th March 6.30-8.30pm https://thecreativeclub.space/workshops/creative-club-at-roebuck-leek-wed-4th-feb-6-30-8-30pm/

Sessions from March will now return back to the normal price of £8 pp.
See you there! 🧑‍🎨🎨🖌️

Morning everyone, happy Wednesday!

Who saw my post yesterday about pausing Creative Club classes for a few weeks? 🙋🏼

I’m feeling a bit all over the place this morning and things have been whirring round in my head through the night…

I know in my heart that I need to tweak my craft sessions so I’m not carrying as many heavy boxes but I’m not sure how to do it!

I’d love some feedback from you guys… any suggestions would be really welcome!

Sarah! Xx

📣📣 I have a Creative Club update for you 📣📣

So 3 weeks ago, my old hand injury flared up and it hasn’t settled down since then. Over the last few years it’s caused me problems and niggles but if I rested it for a day or so it always calmed down.

But this time it hasn’t.

Lifting my heavy boxes at my Creative Club craft sessions seems to have been the final straw.

I’ll still run the 2 sessions this week at the Roebuck and Mix a Gift but after these I need to rest it for a few weeks.
And so I’ve made the decision to cancel the rest of February’s sessions to give it time to heal.

I’m so very sorry to have to do this and feel dreadful about it but it’s just what I’ve got to do.

I’ll see how things go and reevaluate things over the next couple of weeks and keep you all in the loop.

In the meantime I’m going to focus on the bits of my sewing that don’t cause me any problems.

Thank you, as always, for all your support.

Lots of love, Sarah ❤️

You can’t hurt my feelings by telling me my work is wonky…. Because it is!

Each piece was made totally with love, slowly, thoughtfully, and with fabric that already has a story behind it ♻️

These are true Handmade gifts for people who value meaning over mass-produced.

Because “perfect” is overrated anyway ✨
