The G&G Stitch Academy Kid's Christmas stockings
Do you have a crafty child or teenager who is inspired by the Sewing Bee? Do they want to learn how to use a sewing machine or hand sewing techniques but don't know where to start? Do you want to find something fun and imaginative to keep them occupied during the School Christmas Holidays?
In this 3 hour sewing session, students will learn how to use a range of materials and sewing tools, including the sewing machine. They will then put their new skills into practice as they make their very own Christmas stocking to take home.
The session is suitable for complete beginners and for those children who are familiar with the sewing machine. The project details can be made more challenging for those children who already attend the G&G stitch academy during term time or who can already use a sewing machine.
Classes are suitable for children aged 7 and above.

Lorna Hulme
Lorna is forever grateful to her Mum for teaching her to sew as an adult. She fell in love with everything sewing! So much so that she couldn’t bear to keep these skills to herself. Being driven by her passion for inspiring other people to sew, Lorna spent 7 years sharing this love of sewing through teaching others in her own sewing workshop business.
Lorna joined the Guthrie & Ghani team in January 2024 as the Workshops and events coordinator. She is responsible for organising the programme of events and sewing workshops and will be joining the team of sewing tutors too.
Lorna loves all aspects of sewing but her particular passion is dressmaking.
When she’s not sewing she enjoys running, cycling, running around after 2 teenagers and drinking hot chocolate!
