Come and indulge yourself in a fabricky, fun filled sewing/crafting adventure! Join us for a wonderful sewing retreat, in Devon, away from it all  Imagine....you, your sewing machine and sewing projects, knitting and crochet and craft projects, great food, fantastic accommodation, making new friends, cosy conversations by the log fire, sewing mischief and a spot of pampering! What more could you want?

Day 1 - arrival

Arrive any time from 4pm  and receive a warm welcome, a cup of tea and some cake. This is a great  time to get to know your fellow retreatees, make yourself at home,  settle into your room, bag your space in the sewing room and  ……breathe…..! 

Day 1 – evening

At 6pm we have a ‘Welcome to the retreat” glass of bubbly and some  canapes in the sitting room in front of the roaring log fire..this is  just the start! We then gather in the dining room for a delicious home  cooked supper. What happens next is up to you. You can head for a  squishy sofa in the sitting room in front of the fire, have a dip in the  hot tub, start sewing or just retire to bed.

Day 2 - morning

Help yourself to a morning  cuppa, lie in or head out for an early morning walk by the river. A  yummy breakfast of home made bread and jam, yoghurt, cereals,  croissants, fruit salad awaits you from 8.30am. And then it’s time  to…sew…or crochet or craft! We will talk through with you what you want  to achieve this weekend and where you feel you need some help….if at  all… The morning is punctuated with tea/coffee and cake and then more  delicious homemade food at lunchtime!

Day 2 - afternoon

In the afternoon there is  often the opportunity to have a go at something different…in the past we  have tried knicker making, rope bowls, freemotion embroidery, lampshade  making etc… You are welcome to stay in the sewing room for as long as  you like. Dinner is served at 7pm… a 3 course meal…and then it’s hot  tub, sofa, sewing or bed time!

Day 3

After breakfast it’s back  to the sewing room to carry on with your projects, chatter and have fun!  The days just seem to speed by.

On the last afternoon we like to stop for a cuppa and a mini cream tea  in the sitting room – a time to catch up with everyone. Then back to  frantic sewing to complete those projects that you were hoping to  finish!

Day 3 – evening

Our evening meal on the last night is always rather special…friendships have  been forged, memories made, lots of laughter shared and it’s wonderful  to celebrate that on our last evening together.

Home time

A somewhat sadder morning  as we gather our things and say goodbye to everyone. For those who have  the whole day to spare there is the opportunity to pop into Dartmouth or  have a trip into Totnes for the unique independent shops and a spot of  fabric shopping.

Don’t be too sad…there will always be another retreat…..!
