Hands-On Crafting

Crafty Kitz provides face-to-face workshops in County Durham and organises community sewing groups to support local charities. Private sewing tuition is also available. We produce our own affordable sewing kits containing all of the materials you need together with illustrated, step-by-step instructions, and each kit contains a transferable ‘skill-builder’ that can be used in other projects. All Crafty Kitz customers will be given access to our Facebook community where you can share pictures of your makes or ask other crafters for help and advice.

Karron says …

“Crafting is so much more than just producing a final product. I have run many crafting and sewing classes over the years, for both adults and children of all ages, and it is extremely rewarding to see the pleasure and confidence that everyone gets from taking part in an activity and developing new skills together.

I also know from personal experience just how much sewing can lift your spirits, and make you feel better about yourself especially when you hit one of life’s bumps in the road! Sewing helps to reduce anxiety and distracts you from the stresses of everyday life, no matter what your skill level. It leaves you feeling happier and more positive, and it is great fun learning alongside others with similar interests. That’s why it’s important to have clear instructions and lots of encouragement because it is easy to feel disappointed or useless if things don’t work out as you’d planned.”
