Fresh Start for Autumn
This autumn we’re launching a refreshed line-up of sewing courses and workshops designed with you in mind. With smaller groups (just 4 students per class), shorter 5-week courses, and full 6-hour workshops, you’ll enjoy focused, professional training in our bright and inspiring studio — only 23 miles from Belfast. Add to that our in-house sewing machine service and over 25 years of teaching experience, and you’ll see why students love learning with us.
Student Showcase – Beginner Sewing Spring 2025
With our SPRING 2025 sewing courses in full swing and week 3 now complete, I am very excited to share the creations that my Saturday morning BEGINNER students are learning to sew.
A New Chapter Begins at Colour & Cloth
It’s our official relaunch!
After a season of change and growth, I’m delighted to announce that we are moving into a beautiful new studio space in the heart of County Armagh to offer sewing courses and workshops

Scrap-buster sewing : Ireland, France, Spain
Join my sewing journey as I travel from Ireland through France and Spain, turning fabric scraps into beautiful creations. Armed with my mother’s vintage Singer Featherweight 221 sewing machine and a passion for creative sewing, I transform my fabric stash into stunning dresses, tops, jackets, and more. Along the way, I discover unique fabric shops, connects with fellow sewing enthusiasts, and share my love of sewing through teaching. From scrunchies to bunting to tote bags, these scrap-busting projects exemplify the incredible power of repurposing and creativity. Get inspired to sew your own unique creations and join me along the road in the wonderful world of sewing.
