SEW WITH NELLY BEA

SEWING COURSES & WORKSHOPS

All Sew with Nelly Bea workshops are hosted by me, Joan Ellis, a qualified pattern cutter and textiles teacher and life long dressmaker. Sew with Nelly Bea workshops are run from a range of locations in the Bournemouth area and offer a relaxed, happy atmosphere within a small, friendly group of like minded Happy Stitchers. I strive to ensure they are an informative experience, enabling you to enjoy your sewing and get the individual support you need.

ONLINE LIVE SEWING WORKSHOPS AND COURSES: Classes where we can all meet and sew together are just not possible at the moment but I am offering a range of ONLINE LIVE workshops and courses. It's a great way of still sewing with others and learning some new skills along the way. To find out more click below....
