🌸 Golden Rosebuds – First Stitches (Interest Check)

Ages 8–14 | 4.30pm–6.30pm | Golden Rose Sewing School, Chapel‑en‑le‑Frith

We’ve had a few parents ask if we can run our Golden Rosebuds – First Stitches course again — and we’d love to, but we’ll only run it if the group is full.
So we’re checking interest before confirming the next block.

If your child would like to join us for this gentle, confidence‑building beginner sewing course, please let us know which date block you’d prefer:

• Mon 24 Aug – 28 Sep
• Mon 12 Oct – 16 Nov

Both options run 4.30pm–6.30pm and follow the same beginner-friendly curriculum.

If we have enough interest to fill a group, we’ll open bookings immediately.

I just listened to this podcast and thought some of you may find it interesting, so I thought I would share.

It’s a peek into the life of a fit model — honestly one of the stranger jobs in fashion — and it explains so much about why sizing is the way it is.
