✨ A Peaceful, Creative Escape in the Somerset Countryside
Join Kerrie for a relaxing sewing retreat at the beautiful Hurds Hill, a Regency country house set in five acres of peaceful grounds with sweeping views of the Somerset Levels. This is a chance to escape daily routines and enjoy uninterrupted sewing time in a truly inspiring setting.

Your fee includes one pattern, and you’re welcome to purchase more at 50% off. Bring along ongoing projects or UFOs (Unfinished Objects) too—this retreat is about flexibility, creativity, and joy.

Materials: Not included—you’ll receive a materials list after selecting your pattern
🌸My Retreats aren’t just about what we make. It’s about how we make it — together. It’s about the conversations over cups of tea/coffee, the shared excitement when a project comes to life, and the simple joy of sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with others who love sewing just as much as you do. Sewing creates connection — not just with fabric and thread, but with people. It brings us together, it lifts us up, and it gives us space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
