Question:

How many of you have seen a fabulous MUST HAVE garment in a store only to look at the price tag and feel stomach churning disappointment? How quickly something turns from must have to can't have in a million years. Well, maybe you'd be interested in our textile workshops! Learn to make your own must haves and the season's it garments or treasured classics that you'll wear year after year. Charlotte offers machine knitting classes at the Union Textiles Studio to fit any schedule. Contact her for more information! Cara will be offering one on one weaving sessions in the Fall.
