We are delighted to announce that Stanley Halls have asked us to stay on for a year! Thank you to all the customers that have supported us so far - we couldn't have done it without you.  

With that in mind, we've decided to make a few changes going forward based on feedback we've received. Saturdays have been a huge success so we've decided to open on Sundays too, and will close on a Monday. 
The new opening times will be:

Tuesday to Friday     -     9am until 3pm
Saturday                      -    10am until 4pm
Sunday                         -    10am until 4pm 

We are closed on Saturday 27th September due to family commitments, and so these new opening times will take effect from Tuesday 29th.

Yoga Class

Our weekly yoga session will now be on Saturday mornings at 10am, beginning on the 4th October. Please check out the poster below for more information. 

Craft Workshop

We are happy to announce our next 'Crafternoon Tea' session, which will take place on the evening of Thursday 1st October, from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. Come along to this creative and fun sewing workshop! Bring a couple of items of clothing you’d like to transform, and learn some alteration skills. 

This is the perfect class for you if you have any items of clothing which you no longer like or that no longer fit you. The ones that sit in your wardrobe and you think "if only I could change a few details"; like take it in or let it out in a few places, shorten or lengthen it, change the sleeves or shape, etc! 

This workshop is not suitable for complete beginners if your project involves using a sewing machine. You will need to have some basic sewing experience and know how to use a sewing machine. If you are a complete beginner you may still attend the class by taking up a project which only involves hand sewing and/or the use of an iron (e.g sewing on beads, sequins, ribbons, trimmings, buttons, hemming and simple tacking). 

This class will be taught by Michelle and Jenny who have been sewing for years. Michelle is a trained dressmaker and has spent the last 8 years working in many different theatre wardrobe departments, altering costumes for actors on a daily basis. Jenny also has experience in altering costumes for theatre and has also worked in altering wedding and bridesmaids dresses.

Materials Required:

Bring along two items of clothing. We will provide all materials and equipment, but you’re welcome to bring along anything specific you might like to use in your project. If you have a sewing machine you'd prefer to bring and use, you are welcome to do so.

 

Class Duration: 2 hours

Class Size: Up to 8 people

Cost: £25, including a coffee/tea/soft drink of your choice and a piece of cake.

Date and times:

Thursday 1st October, 6:30-8:30pm

For further information or to book your place email coffeecraftlondon@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you!

There is a new parent and child meet-up group starting this Monday 24th August, which will run weekly for the duration of our stay at Stanley Halls.

A quick blog to say a MASSIVE 'thank you' to everyone to has been to see us at Coffee Craft. We've absolutely loved our first week - it's been a very great pleasure meeting and getting to know some lovely locals, and those from further afield. We've got some regulars already too, so huge thanks to them!

We're really looking forward to the next 9 weeks, and will be opening on weekends as soon as possible so that we can provide more tasty treats for those not able to come so far.

Thanks again, and have a great weekend.

Michelle & Nick

Coffee Craft is very excited to announce their first 'Crafternoon Tea' session - Classic Cusion Making with Michelle, on Sunday 9th August from 2pm-5pm.

This is a beginners class so no sewing experience is required  – we will show you how to cut and pin fabric, thread a machine and sew straight to required seam allowances. We'll also supply some written information to take home, along with your cushion.

We will provide you with fabric and materials including a cushion insert so you don’t need to bring anything with you. If you would like to bring your own fabric you are very welcome to, even an old t-shirt or trousers will do!

This is a complete beginner course, however if you do have sewing experience you can add some appliqué or buttonholes for more of a challenge. 

Tea/Coffee and cake will be provided to help the sewing process along!

Class length: 3 hours

Materials required: none - provided

Maximum number in a class: 10

Price: £25

Please confirm your place on the class via email to coffeecraftlondon@gmail.com, along with your sewing ability. Payment can be made via BACS or on the day. 

I look forward to hearing from you!

Michelle
