Highlights from Retro Revival Craft Night


The Make Escape team - Mia and Momtaz with guest tutor Daisy

Hello crafters! Yes it's still snowing here in London but thankfully not as much as it was when we held our last craft night when the Beast of the East was in full force. The blizzards however didn't put everyone off and while it was quieter than usual, we still had a lot of fun. Here's what we got up to! 



Shoe-clip making with Mia



Knitting corner


New knitter - these three had never knitted before! Now look at them!


Button jewellery


Button cocktail rings made on the night

Sewing workshop sponsored by Contrado UK

Fabric designed by Sally Hughson
Digital printing specialists Contrado printed us some bespoke The Make Escape fabric inspired by our flier for the night to use in our sewing session but we postponed it because of the snow. Head over to their site to get your own fabric designs printed onto different fabrics and products. 


Our next FREE event is on Tuesday 24th April and the theme is Secret Garden. But if you can't wait until then don't worry we have a host of craft workshops coming up across London for adults and families. More details of those over on our main website www.themakeescape.com.

Our DJs The Spinning Yarns - Alice, Isobel and Dan


Plus don't forget to follow us on social media:
Instagram & Twitter.

See you soon, keep crafting!
