SEWING. ENJOYING. CONNECTING

Hello and Welcome!

Come on in.

This is a brand new site in September 2025, so you will find links missing and my shop. Some services are bookable - see the services page. Don’t let that stop you though - (as if?!) pop Diane an email - [email protected] and we’ll help. This business is not new though. It celebrates 10 years now - so all is well on that front.

READY TO GIVE US A TRY?

The newsletter is where it's at

One benefit of subscribing is that you'll immediately receive some helpful tips on getting started with FPP, with the focus on precise points.

If that's not for you, yet, you'll still become a fellow escapee, being amongst the first to learn how you can escape away to stitch. Or even longarm.

Patchwork, people & a pinch of playfulness

Come sew your heart out in a colourful, calm, and connected community (warning: joy, time to yourself and fabric stashes may increase).

At Stitchscape, our mission is simple: to stitch people and creativity back together. We believe quilting isn’t just about fabric and thread — it’s about colour, calm, and connection. Whether you’re piecing your first patchwork or diving into a retreat, we’re here to give you a vibrant, supportive space that feels like a big exhale (with a few giggles and plenty of tea thrown in). This is where friendships grow, skills flourish, and you finally carve out time for yourself — because your creativity deserves centre stage, not the bottom of the to-do list.

MY APPROACH

Hello, I’m Diane — let’s stitch, share, and slow down together

Life’s too short to lose yourself in the laundry pile. Come join our colourful crew, starting with online chats and tutorials in the membership (once it's up and running)— and when you fancy, bring your sewing machine (and your stories) to a workshop or retreat.

At Stitchscape, it’s never just about fabric and thread — it’s about people- you! My approach is simple: create a colourful, calm space where you can switch off from the noise (other than the chat), turn on your sewing machine, and feel like you again.

I don’t do stuffy classrooms or perfection police. Progress every day is my motto.

I believe quilting (and life) is more joyful when we laugh at wonky seams, share sweet treats (or fruit if you're doing Weightwatchers), and celebrate the magic of making with our own two hands.

Every retreat, workshop, and sewcial is designed to help you:

Feel calm and connected — time away from the to-do list, time just for you.

Find your confidence — supportive teaching, jargon explained, no judgement.

Embrace colour and creativity — because beige has never stitched a happy quilt.

Think of it as stitching therapy, but with brighter threads and better snacks.

How I can help you?

Sewcials & workshops

Bring your fabric, your stories, and your smile — our Sewcials are all about stitching in good company. Want to learn something new? Workshops give you the skills (and the giggles) to take your sewing further without the perfection police.

Retreats

Quilting + spa slippers = yes please. Our retreats are the ultimate stitch-and-soak experience — smart hotels, calming spas, colourful fabrics, and plenty of laughs- including a quilt parade! It’s your permission slip to sew all day, unwind all evening, and go home feeling fabulous.

Community membership

The Patchwork Play online membership is your feel-good, no-scroll sewing space—made for creative women who want to steal back moments for making, rekindle their sewjo, and spark joy in a calm, colourful community (with zero cat videos or comment-section chaos).
