“Brilliant! Great workshop, fabulous company and marvellous teaching.

Hi, I’m Helen — I’ve been running Badger and Bobbins for the past 7 years, but I’ve been sewing (and swearing at my sewing machine) for over 20. I’m a qualified primary teacher with a background in adult education, and these days I spend my time helping people learn to sew. I am so happy to be able to offer a space away from the hubbub of modern life to relax, create and enjoy learning new skills! 

Have a scroll through the upcoming workshops below or check out my online course Ready, Thread, Sew! if you fancy learning at your own pace (pyjamas optional, but encouraged). And if you've got a question or you're not sure where to start, just drop me a message — I'm always happy to chat sewing.
