Claire's Craft Workshop

Claire's Craft Workshop Here at Claire’s Craft Workshop we create beautifully embroidered and printed keepsakes, clothing,

Our main focus is personalised gifts and we have now branched into vinyl and sublimation printing in addition to machine embroidery. The sewn items I've been making are mainly baby items, but basically I love to make anything. If there is anything you want but can't see in my albums, message me and I'll see what I can do.

Something that I have completed this holiday is this mesh cover up for Charlotte. It’s crochet with Sirdar Storied in Sandy Toes using a simple pattern from Etsy. She loves it which is the main thing 🧶😎😍😎🧶

Trying to get as much of this top crochet as possible before I head home. It’s in King Cole Glitz in the new Aqua Marine. Wether by the pool or at a show I’ve been crocheting pretty much all the time 🧶😍🧶

Sitting out by the pool making good progress on my new top using kingcoleltd ‘s new shade of Glitz Aquamarine - those that know me and visit the shop know that I love teals and turquoise’s and this yarn is a gorgeous teal glittery yarn.

I’ll be back on the shop on Saturday and you’ll be able to see just how far I get 🧶💕😎

As we are approaching the shops 3rd birthday in September and are making plans of how we will celebrate, we are still getting new customers every week who have only just heard of us! Can you please help spread the word, by telling your friends sharing this post etc.
We have the biggest range of yarn in Cumberland and a better selection than found in some cities. Including main stream brands like KingCole, Sirdar, Cygnet and Stylecraft and smaller brands with a more natural fibre focus. Fabric wise we have a wide range of both dress making and quilting fabric.

We have loads of haberdashery, threads, interfacing, batting and there are 100’s of different craft kits, greetings cards and an awful lot more that I will have forgotten to share.

We can be found at
Unit 10i, Sneakyeat Industrial Estate
Hensingham
Whitehaven
CA28 8PF

We are open Monday to Thursday 5pm to 8pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm.

So call in say hello and stop for a chat…see you soon Claire 💕

Created a reel on Thursday or so I thought with these photos. Added text, music etc. spent ages just to find it failed to post. So back to old school!!!
Lots more Anne by Circulo has arrived, it’s a gorgeous 4ply 100% mercerised Brazilian cotton, 500m for £5.99. Lovely and light both to work with and wear, perfect for summer holiday projects.
Next you will see that I finished the a free pattern by offthechainwithjack, I used one of the Anne variegated yarns for. I have made it longer and looser than Jack would have but that’s the beauty of handmade you can make it a size that makes you feel more comfortable. Making it a bit bigger did mean that I had to use part of a third ball but even so at less than £18 for the top it’s really good value. Last photo I have terrible hair but it’s very late at night (always a night owl 🦉) when I had just finished it!

Lastly my daughter has been trying to teach me how to take selfies - probably need a bit more practice but think probably getting better at it 😬

Here are the goodies I treated myself to while in Norway. Expensive but we did well in not buying lots of tat and souvenirs so I don’t feel too guilty 😉🧶🧶🇳🇴

What colour should we paint the new shop? Do you like any of these or do you have any other ideas? The majority of the shelving is white. I want it to look gorgeous while showing off all the luscious yarn and fabric 😍. The outside is probably going to have to be a grey colour to fit in with the councils colour scheme but I’m sure we can add some pretty accents outside……..
