Christmas crafts!

There has been plenty of merry crafts in the Flo-Jo workshop so far in December. If you are trying to find some inspiration, look no further!

You could decorate a small hoop of fabric and add little gifts for the animals with felt for a 3D effect!

Our Tuesday evening dressmakers have finished off their different garments. I think the green dress will look fantastic on Christmas eve!

Christmas tree decorations in felt.

Another gorgeous hoop, we love the bells detail! This would make a lovely gift!

And last but not least these lovely snowflake embroidered decorations!

Merry Christmas!

Inspiring customers!

What is more inspiring than working in a shop filled with lovely fabrics? Seeing what customers make from them of course! We are always curious of what you are planning to make with your purchases and always amazed when you show us what you made.

Here are a couple of lovely makes to inspire you to turn the tv OFF and sewing machine ON!

We love the mix of prints for this handmade pencil case, an Inprint fabric and yellow Riley Blake cotton for the lining.

This a top and skirt to be made! Those pansies❤

Choosing prints and colours for patchwork can be a seriously tricky business. We love the mix of this customers work so far! 

These cushions were made by us in our workshop for a couple and their plain two seat sofa. The hedgehog print is by Sevenberry and the swallows is an organic cotton by Birch. Pom-poms in all sorts of colours are also available in the shop!

We would love it if you'd like to share your Flo-Jo make with us on our facebook page and blog, please email us:

Flo-Jo Children's Sewing Club

Next week we have a break for half term so there are no classes on for our children and teen sewers but I thought it could be fun to share what they have been up to this term.

They've made wraps for their sewing tools, practicing different techniques in our Tuesday afternoon classes.

Making pockets, sewing on ribbons for pencils and pinking felt pieces for our pins to go on.

They've also practiced some stitching by hand, adding their initials to the kits and sewing a double fold bias-binding all around the edge.

If you've been inspired and would like to do some sewing yourself, have a look at our different workshops here!
