Craft & Laugh

Craft & Laugh - Thames Ditton

Lovely couple of hours sewing and chatting. Great company! Plus I managed to get much more done than I would have at home! Will definitely be returning. 

Lovely morning spent at Thames Ditton Studio. 
Impromptu lesson in Log cabin quilting design and we made three coasters for the studio. 
Very friendly welcoming atmosphere. Sonia was doing a great job putting up Christmas lights and decorations. See you next week!

Another brilliant morning at Craft My Day in Thames Ditton. 
We all attacked the sewing machines either making bags or quilted coasters. Michelle explained the basic principle of free motion embroidery. (I feel another workshop coming on!)
A friendly cheerful way to spend a couple of hours of ‘me time’.  Roll on next week! 

Another lovely morning. Very friendly and loads of chat. Helpful and supportive group. Well worth a visit even if you have no specific project on the go. Some lovely Christmas presents made. Only sorry I can’t come next week. See you in the New Year! 

Another lovely morning. Plenty of chatter and laughter (Class lives up to its name!)  This time I recycled a cushion cover into a zipped bag for Boomerang Bags. A win win! Lots of advice available if you want it but all very relaxed. A lovely bit of ‘me’ time.  

Another lovely morning. Plenty of planning and sorting for future projects. Plus as always friendly chat and lots of laughter! 

Great morning! With the help of the wonderful Michele the first of the Boomerang Crowns are nearly ready!  Really friendly helpful group, with lots of ideas. 

Fun morning. Plenty of laughs. Mixture of crafts, sewing bags and crowns, preparing patterns, knitting. It is so lovely that whatever your craft- knitting, sewing, embroidery, crochet you are welcome. All willing to help with ideas and advice if needed. 

Helen Bond

I had a lovely time, Sonia helped me sew a Boomerang Bag, and even made me tea. I'll definitely recommend Craft My Day, and the Wednesday crafting group. 

This group gets better and better!
More new “members”  and a variety of crafts. 
More people meant more chat and laughter! A lovely friendly welcoming group. The ‘newbies’ are already smitten like the rest of us and will be returning. 

Ruth  Allen

Another busy morning with a mix of crafts. Crocheting, knitting and I was preparing material and drawing the patterns for crowns (Coronation coming up).
Lots of chat and laughter plus ideas for joint projects discussed! A relaxing  couple of hours and so so much more productive than the same time at home! 

Ruth  Allen 

Another lovely friendly morning. A variety of projects - someone using the large tables to cut out a dress. Others crocheting, hand sewing and knitting. I continued on my crown project with assistance from the lovely Micky who will hopefully be joining us in the future.

Another fun morning- and I have started crocheting again after about 4 years. All crafts welcome!!


We always have a lovely time! Sonia makes a lovely cup of tea, and has been happy to help me out with lots of advice, tips, and equipment when I bite off more than I can chew with my craft projects. 
We're even planning a group project together, which is very exciting. 

And we’re back after the school holidays! Another brilliant morning, plenty of laughter and crafting. Crocheted dinosaurs, knitted baby clothes, hand decorated bags and other crocheted things. Oh and tea and yummy biscuits! What is not to like? Really friendly group - do come and join us if you are local to Thames Ditton (pay &display carpark behind the studio if you’re not within walking distance!)

A great morning planning a group project- a post box topper. I tried out my very rusty knitting skills (not the right word for my attempt!) . A lovely morning as usual. 

Ian Nussbaum

Relaxing and fun.   I think I’ll be a regular.  

Wednesday morning Craft and Laugh is the highlight of my week. A great place to meet like minded crafters, learn from each other and laugh a LOT

Really informative session in a relaxed atmosphere. I left feeling confident on how to use my new sewing machine and motivated to get going. 
My only criticism was that the room was very cold but appreciate the weather has been unseasonably chilly.
