Handmade Traditional and Pet Paw Christmas appliquéd stockings

Join us for an exclusive artist-at-home experience, where Christmas magic meets your creative touch! In this special session, you'll create your very own personalised traditional Christmas stocking - or perhaps a Christmas paw stocking for your favourite furry friend!

Surrounded by the warmth of a beautifully decorated home, with Christmas trees twinkling and reindeers watching on, you'll learn to appliqué holiday motifs onto your stocking, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that brings festive joy year after year.

We will have a variety of fabrics, patterns, and colors for you to choose from, allowing you to make a stocking that truly reflects your style. Guests can choose to machine or hand appliqué their stockings, ensuring everyone can work in the way they feel most comfortable.

Don't worry if you haven't used a sewing machine before—you will get all the help you need to practice before working on your special stocking.

Never appliquéd? No worries, we can teach you free motion embroidery or hand-sewn stitches that will make your shapes or custom letters stand out.

With a maximum of only 4 participants, you’ll get a truly tailored experience—all while enjoying delicious Christmas treats and drinks.

Create a unique Christmas stocking for yourself or your pet in a cozy, artist-led festive experience!
