Sewing. Enjoying. Connecting.
Let's get sewcialising today around our patchwork and sewing projects!
Who runs Stitchscape? What's it all about?
My Story
Hi from me: Diane, who runs this friendly, sociable business, whose purpose it is to provide colourful patchwork and quilting events for you to escape away to. Welcome! To create a sewing community where you can be inspired and motivated with your projects and make friends at the same time is a pretty awesome task.
Stitchscape is a sewing studio servicing the southern Merseyside region and into West Cheshire.
I have been running workshops and sewcials since I set up my first studio in Newton-le-Willows in 2015. When I moved to Neston, I taught at Love Stitch in Heswall and I opened a small space at a fabulous venue in Liverpool called Merseymade from November 2019 but you can guess which pandemic ruined that for me.
From the summer of 2021 to 2022 I ran a patchwork sewing group in Moreton Community centre on the Wirral.
I have run three brilliant sewing retreats at Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa. The last one was in January 2023.
I have a longarm quilting machine and offer teaching experiences on the Handiquilter Moxie machine. Once you do two of those private lessons, you can quilt your own project on the machine I call Mollie. Check that out via the longarming tab at the top of this page.
So what are you waiting for? Get reading and if you have any queries please do get in touch to learn more.
The Glass room
My studio is in a building called the Glassroom, on the Oaktree Court business park, Ness.
It was such a lucky find as it's located next to a livery and a field, which often has sheep in. So all feels very rural but we're right on the edge of the A540, so access is good. It's on the ground floor and there is parking all around the building, making it very easy to bring your machine and other 'gubbins'. It has a very practical yet cosy feel, with all the tools to help with your sewing, as well as people to form a community with and understand your enjoyment of all things patchwork and quilting.
The sewcials just have 4/5 people attending, so that's a nice small group to give inspiration and support to and receive lots of help, advice and friendship in return.
Let's get sewing.
