"Love to Sew....vintage hen parties" are the brain child of two friends who have joined creative forces to carry out sewing workshops at "Love to Eat" Food Store in York.
Rebecca is a designer dressmaker who produces vintage inspired homewares and made to measure bespoke bridal wear at a little studio in the country side just outside of York. Rebecca is a Fashion Tutor at York College where she teaches up and coming designers to make their creations a reality!
Louise owns a beautiful Food Store called Love to Eat, a local favourite for coffee, cakes, light bites and more! The Food Store is unique as everything inside is produced and made by local businesses, from the paintings on the wall to the produce on the shelves. Love To Eat has established itself well and truely within the community thanks to the venue being used for different workshops and activities, bringing both local people and visitors together.
As well as running one day workshops such as "Love to sew a Vintage Apron" the duo run workshops for hen parties, the most popular being to customise your own bunting (often brides use it to decorate their wedding venue!)
York is a beautiful city steeped in history with plenty to see and do with an ever expanding vintage scene. Including a sewing workshop in your vintage hen do is ideal as they cater for all ages, you don't need any sewing experience and all materials are provided! This combined with Love To Eat providing the vintage inspired menu - it's a perfect few hours of vintage fun!
Depending on numbers, workshops can be held at Love To Eat or come to you. Initial consultation with the bride/organiser will establish an individual package to suit ability and budget and can create a menu to suit you (from a buffet lunch to a vintage high tea with jam and scones!)
