The sewing

Aimed at all levels of sewist, the yoga bag is a simple make that will elevate your yoga bag to a whole new level. Phoebe will guide you through all stages of making your bag. 

 The yoga 

An open level yoga flow to energise the body, get the prana flowing before and after prolonged periods of sitting and focusing at your machine.  Incorporating asanas to reopen the heart, free then neck and shoulders, reconnect to the core and nourish and elongate the spine.  Whether you are a beginner or a more advance yogi, the practice will allow you to connect with your breath and body and return to your machine feeling calm, strong, energised and joyous. Michelle has been practicing yoga for over 30 years, trained with Yogahaven, Flying Fantastic, Les Mills and Polestar Pilates.  She hopes to inspire a love of breathing and flowing in her yogis and keep them coming back to their mats.

Sewing Tutor

Phoebe is a keen dressmaker and loves to make clothes for her own wardrobe. Having always been creative, she decided to pursue a job in the fashion industry. After moving to London to work as a womenswear Buying Assistant for a high street fashion brand, she realised her job was not as creative as she hoped. She decided to learn to sew to be able to create the garments she could envisage in her head and in the process, found that understanding clothing construction and fit was invaluable to her buying role. 

 
Phoebe now lives in Hove and works as the Junior Buyer for Fabric Godmother, helping to manage new fabric collections, developing sewing patterns, and helping to plan the monthly Dream Wardrobe subscription box. She enjoys re-creating designer inspired pieces, pairing fabrics with patterns and creating her own interpretation of fashion trends.
