WORKSHOPS
KITS with YOUTUBE TUTORIAL

Picture
I am Cathy Reavy and my hand embroidery workshops are based in the beautiful village of Alstonefield in the Peak District National Park. "It's like a Spa day without taking your clothes off", said a regular attendee on our workshops.

My kits include high quality materials and come with an online step by step YouTube tutorial. "I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the tutorial. It was so clear, I had no problems following it" 

Whether you are in Alstonefield on a workshop, or at home working from a kit, it's important to me that you feel inspired, relaxed and encouraged by your experience!  I aim to deliver creative, high quality workshops that are affordable and friendly. If you can't travel to Alstonefield, I want my online videos to take you through the whole process from start to finish, with the same high quality materials. I also have free stitch tutorials on my YouTube channel, the  Stitch Wheel, the Bug Box and Sunflowers for Ukraine
​
You won't be given a 'shopping list' of things to bring with you to a workshop - everything is provided, including my home-made cakes & biscuits served by my husband, John. With a love of travel,  I often gain inspiration for my designs from places I have visited, and I like to spend time working out the most straightforward methods of teaching. Beginners are welcome and encouraged, but I cater for a wide range of abilities - and I try to keep the 'admin' simple! 


As a result of a holiday in 2018, we have been pleased to sponsor Waterberry Community Projects supporting educational programmes in rural Zambia, with 100% of proceeds from our Finishing Off Days being donated to this charity. We also fund the High School fees for a boy called Happy. As at April 2022, a grand total of £7500 has been donated. To read more about my story, go to Cathy Reavy.  Take a look at the current list of workshops by clicking here.   There are a wide selection of kits available with YouTube tutorial and they can be viewed here.
