Teamwork makes the dream work! 💕What Vicki Made has been my co-host on the retreats for a while now and we love working together. So much so, that I’m really pleased to say that she’s agreed to take on a more active role in Sewing Escapes. She’s going to be getting more involved with some of the organising and planning that goes into our lovely retreats, as well as helping me with social media. This means that it might be Vicki who replies to your messages or comments, or some of the Sewing Escapes emails might come from Vicki.She’s still going to be co-hosting the retreats too – Yay!!I hope you’ll join me in saying a big hello to Vicki and give her a lovely warm welcome.We’re going to be releasing some spring retreat dates very soon!!!Gill x ….. and Vicki x

Hi I'm Gill and I'm the person behind Sewing Escapes!
You might recognise me from a TV show that's all about sewing 🐝 or from insta over at @theonearmedsewist).
Learning to sew has helped transform my life. It's helped me to feel comfortable with my body and love who I am, and it's given me wonderful friendships.
Sewing can be a solitary hobby, but...
Finding your people is so important, surrounding yourself with people who understand you, and lift you up helps you be the best version of you!
That's why I started Sewing Escapes, to offer sewing related events that bring like minded people together. Where you can learn, share and elevate your sewing skills, and where you can build amazing connections and friendships.
Sewing Escapes offers something for everyone:
🧵Sewing Retreats - two days of sewing where you escape and immerse yourself in a lovely setting, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with lots of support and mentoring. Giving you the perfect opportunity to stitch, laugh and create.
🧵Sewing Day Escapes - Kind of like a mini retreat, a day of sociable sewing with lunch.
🧵Stitchers' Supper Club - A relaxed and friendly night out, with good food, good company, plenty of stitching chat and an opportunity to meet other stitchy people.
So what are you waiting for?
Come and live your best sewing life with Sewing Escapes!

There's a big risk that you'll have a fabulous day, relaxing and doing something you love!!
But also a risk that you'll meet other people with shared interests, laugh a lot, have plenty of food and drink, and maybe some bubbles too!
Today was the first of the social sewing days I'm organising in Doncaster. I loved every minute of it. Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a great day.
I'm already excited about the one in May!!!
