Join us for a very special Sewing Me Time weekend. Hang out with like-minded people. Get your projects finished. And, enjoy pampering time at a stunning countryside hotel.

It’s your time. Finish your Christmas advent calendars, stockings and tree skirts, Christmas gifts, even any Nativity garments that you are making. Or, bring your UFOs and other unfinished work, layer your quilts. You can even bring your dressmaking, knitting, or crochet. All without home life getting in your way.

This will be an open format with the justhands-on.tv girls on hand throughout the weekend if you need any help.

The DeVere Horsley Estate, East Horsley, Surrey

The DeVere Horsely Estate will be our home for the weekend. Located in acres of Surrey parkland, this is a unique hotel and retreat complete with a gym, pool, and terraced lawn with lake that are ideal for wandering and relaxing and exploring. The conference area combines neutral tones and natural light to create a fresh and energising backdrop. The modern bedrooms, all recently refurbished with bold tones and contemporary décor, still offer glimpses of the original stonework of the old stables.
And it’s easy to get to. Close to Guildford, 5 miles from J10 of the M25 and with direct train routes into London Waterloo. Parking is free.

What’s special about a justhands-on.tv retreat

We keep numbers limited on justhands-on.tv retreats so that everyone has access to the tutors as well as the space to work on their project. Attendees tell us it is “ a little me time.”
