A Very Creative Day at Brewers Sewing Machines, Wolverhampton!
On Saturday 21st April, Melanie visited Brewers for a 'Try before you buy' event. Here's some news that she was itching to pass on:
----------------------------------------------------------------
 |
| Union Jack Dress |
I met a lady called Debra Harper of 'OhSewDebra.com'. Debra is running all kinds of classes upstairs at
Brewers.
 |
| Patchwork Union Jack |
 |
| Union Jack Dress |
From complete beginner, to get
to know your sewing machine, patchwork, support with A Level and all kinds of
advanced techniques. Debra runs the classes at your pace, so whatever your
skill level you can join in and have fun!
 |
| Multi-coloured Apron |
Debra's also created this cheery apron on her Brother Overlocker!
The pockets and buttons were attached using her Brother Innov-is 1250.
What a lovely way to demonstrate that overlockers do sew
much more than neat seams.
Debra's designs can be found at:

| Emma's Innov-is 50 decorated with flowers! |
I also met Emma from 'Minty Pink Custard'
She had decorated her Brother Innov-is 50 with some lovely flowers!
I’m
sure this inspires her to create her lovely range of bright and cheerful bags,
hair clips, cushions & phone cases. |
| We love Emma's Camper Van Cushion! |
Emma is a regular at Brewers classes too, making the most of her creativity and sharing her inspiration with others.

| Libby with her fabulous quilt |
Libby is an A Level student local to Brewers Sewing Machines
who is coming along to the classes to get help with her projects.
This very interesting piece has loads of detail where Libby
has hand and machine embroidered, and painted & quilted various parts.
Libby is planning ahead for her Textile degree and we can
see she will do well.
Great
work Libby!----------------------------------------------------------------
I met the lady who makes these gorgeous dolls. Made with 100% fabric; all profits are sent to Water Aid in
Africa.
Here is just one of the dolls resting beside our Innov-is NX2000
before her journey to a new home!
MaisyMuffin dolls can be found here:

And finally here we have Owner of Brewers Sewing Machines; Kathleen Brewer
who has been very busy on her Innov-is 2200 with the Laura Ashley designs.
On her Jacket you can see the beautiful Laura Ashley
embroidery and on her shirt you can see another design built into the Innov-is 2200.
Beautiful work Kathleen!
Don't forget that Brewers have Brother machines in their classroom to use so you can
sign up for a class even if you don’t own a machine.

It's lovely to see sewing coming back into fashion, and with these lovely all-singing, all-dancing machines available now, everyone can, and should be creative.
