Most of us achieve more when we are feeling positive and able to deal constructively with negative emotions. Come and find out what the tools and techniques of NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) have to offer in helping you to manage stress, anxiety or stage fright, and supporting other people to do the same. Take away some new skills that will enable you to be calm and positive whenever that would be useful for you. See Erica's website for more information http://www.inspiringaction.co.uk

For all skill levels. If you just want to learn how to sew on a button or take up a hem - to people who want to learn how to make a pair of trousers or a doll.

IF YOU HAVE - Please bring pieces of fabric, pins, needles, thread and sewing machines. I'm particularly interested in finding ways to recycle fabrics and old clothes.

Also bring any clothes you want to repair or alter.

This is just a one off to gauge interest - If there's enough people interested then we can think about doing more.
