A Sew In Time

It’s all about the threads…

he groovy Ms Barbara Connolly has been in touch about two new sewing courses taking place in Greystones in the new year…

And, as always, they’re designed for those smart individuals who believe in slow fashion.

People who know that the best thing you can do with an old, unloved item of clothing is simply rip it up and start again.

To quote the great Scottish bard, Sir Edwyn of Collins.

Here’s the lowdown…

Learn to sew and design with an experienced clothing designer and sustainable textile educator, Barbara Connolly.

Based in Greystones, Green Thread has been running successful courses for many years.

The classes are fun and instruction is clear, so you can learn at your own pace. Fully insured classes, with everything supplied.

Learn to use a sewing machine. Classes for adults starting on the 20th of March. For the full four Wednesdays, it’s just €200, running from 7pm to 9.30pm at the Presbyterian Hall on Trafalgar Road.

You will be introduced to the wonders of the sewing machine, and given the tools to sew your own fashion look.

Alternatively, you can gift the lessons to a loved one with a Green Thread gift card, which start at €50.

It’s all about sustainable clothing, about not letting good threads go to waste – literally…
