Aside from papercrafts and baking, I also love to sew. Up until now all I could really do though was cross stitch and although I enjoy it and am good at it, learning something new is always good! So when I saw the LivingSocial deal for a starter class at SUPER+SUPER in Brighton for £8 instead of the usual £20, I couldn’t say no!
I chose embroidery. Amy ran the workshop and there were 5 of us ‘students’ which was really nice, we got to have a chatter and even though I didn’t go with anyone but the others did, it was nice to get to know new people. We learnt a number of new stitches and all of the materials which we used were provided – as were tea and cake, which as you can imagine were good with me!! I like learning in a small group as if you have any issues or queries they can be easily solved and you can get more attention.
The next class on my wishlist at SUPER+SUPER is crochet…. I’ve never been able to do it, but hopefully with the help of a talented teacher I’ll get my head around it 🙂
PS, have you seen Jenny’s post on fast, handy home made stamps? There are some pretty cool and thrifty ideas to try out.
Amazing!i want to go to one of their classes,the crochet is especially tempting!ive been trying to teach myself for ages!How dya find those deals ?xx
I got the deal from LivingSocial a while back, but if I find any offers I find of interest I will make sure to post them here! Sometimes I post things to my personal Twitter too.
Ahh,dya just have to keep checking everydsy in the hope something good comes up?xx
Yep, I just have the app on my phone and check it every now and then! I don't do it religiously but check it once or twice a week.
The classes sound great! I would love to do something like that =)

I am so lucky to live near to a fab place like SUPER+SUPER, perhaps there is somewhere near you to go to classes? I have always found that many craft groups I've found are full of less trendy (hope that doesn't sound too bad!), so when this lovely place was launched I was very excited! 🙂
I went to the intro to crochet class and it made such a massive difference! I'm a lefty so find it hard to learn things backwards!
I'm going to go to the crochet class as all I can do is a never-ending chain row! Hahaha!
