Those attending the workshops will be taught how to sew by hand and machine. All materials are provided, including textiles, fabric patches, needles and thread, and those taking part will also receive a set of written instructions from the workshop that they can take and use at home. While there, you’ll also be treated to ‘fika’, a traditional Swedish treat of warm drinks and pastries.
