Since I moved workshops to a smaller space it’s been an ongoing theme around scaling back. Initially on what I owned, then on the services I offer and items I make, […]

You may have noticed that we are listing our courses now at Todmorden Community College, also know as TLC (Todmorden Learning Centre) and locally referred to as Tod College! It’s been a long time coming but the college is finally in community ownership and courses are starting in September, there will be a good range […]
It might not need saying but our Christmas markets this year have all been cancelled. There is a very small chance we might be on at Hebden Bridge Market in December if restrictions lift but I’m doubtful. We are selling our handmade loveliness in Wonderfully Made, Halifax Rd, and Creative With Nature, Rochdale Rd, both […]
Hey folks, we are now at Robinwood Mill in Lydgate, and it’s so good! We are still in Todmorden, just no longer in a shop premises and no longer open to the public. You can still come and see us ( or us to see you) if necessary, just email for an appointment, and we […]
Cheeky sew and sew are moving premises at the start of April to a workshop/studio space. We’ve loved our little shop but seeing as most of our sales are online nowadays, and we’re barely open to the public we think it’s time to move to a studio. This does mean a few changes: I will […]

We’ve been busy bees at the workshop with our upcycling of late. We started making and selling upcycled inner tube belts last summer at the workshop, and at markets over Christmas, and now we are adding them to our etsy shop as well. Upcycled inner tubes are a fantastic material, it’s soft and strong yet […]

We are running some yarn bombing workshops at cheeky sew and sew to make colourful and creative knitted or crocheted cosies for Todmorden’s multitude of bollards. The idea is to get funky covers made to put out whenever there’s an event on in Todmorden town, but there’s 86 bollards so we’d best get knitting! The […]
