CRAFTERS can brush up on their skills when a quirky pink sewing bus comes to Dorset next month.

Miss Libby Rose, one of the UK’s foremost experts in sewing and crafting, will be holding sewing machine classes at the Hobbycraft Bournemouth store at Haskins Garden Centre in Ferndown.

The Australian born artist is known for her fun approach to sewing sessions and is also a contributor to Make It Today magazine.

The sewing classes will take place on Sunday, December 3 from 9.30am to 4.15pm. Crafters will be guided by Miss Libby Rose, as she takes them through the basics of using a sewing machine as well as learning some new techniques with a variety of fabrics.

Those who attend will also receive a £5 Hobbycraft voucher to spend in store.

Hobbycraft Bournemouth store manager, Mark Winterford Arnold, said: “We can’t wait to see our crafty customers aboard Miss Libby Rose’s pink sewing bus.

“It’s a great chance for crafters of all abilities to pick up and develop their skills, in a fun environment with one of the UK’s top crafting experts.”
