With Karen Odinga
Have a few loose ends from our previous sewing sessions? Bring along any unfinished business and get it completed in a relaxed, festive atmosphere. Plus, there will be a few quick, little sewing projects available to get you in the holiday spirit. Even if you just want to use the time to catch up on a past project, patterns for the little festive projects will be available to all. Maybe I’ll remember to bring some mince pies as well.
Requirements for catch up session:
- Machine with accessories, leads and manual
- Your project (if putting on the finishing touches for the session) plus any threads & materials to accompany it.
- Usual sewing kit to include sewing needles, tape measure, dressmaker’s pins, dressmaking scissors plus any other bits you have collected as part of your kit.
Requirements for Christmas Fripperies things:
From your stash (don’t buy anything-just bring what you have) Anything interesting in small quantities to include:
- Fabric scraps
- Beads, charms, broken jewellery bits, sequins, lace, trims etc.
I’ll bring along my bag of oddments too.
Any queries, please feel free to e-mail me at kodinga23@gmail.com

Payment
Class fees should be paid in advance by card (which can be done over the phone- 01376 323280).
We will also accept cheques, which will be cashed two weeks before the date of the class once we are sure the class will run, and should be made payable to Braintree & Bocking Community Association.
There may be an additional cost for appropriate materials, which if applicable, should be paid to the tutor on the day of the class – please check the class details.
Cancellation policy
Fees are non-refundable from two weeks before the class unless we can sell the space to another student (subject to a minimum of six students booked). Fees may be transferable at our discretion.
Please understand that the Centre cannot afford to run classes at a loss, since we are a charity. As such, classes may be cancelled if we are unable to achieve a minimum number of students. If this is the case, you will be informed two weeks before the date of the class and your fee will be refunded.
