🧵✂️ A huge thank you once again to Tshala at The SewCiety School!💗

The workshops were absolutely amazing, and it was so lovely to see children from our community getting involved, learning new skills, building their confidence and creating some brilliant masterpieces of their own! 🪡✨

A massive thank you to Tshala for all of the hard work, time and energy she put into the workshops. She truly is so gifted at what she does, and the way she encourages and supports the young people throughout the process is wonderful to see. 🧡

If you or your children are interested in giving sewing a go, we would definitely recommend getting in touch with Tshala at The SewCiety School. She already has other workshops and opportunities available, and they are so worth it!

And we have a feeling this won’t be the last time LeeAnna’s Wish and The SewCiety School work together… 👀🧵💗 So keep an eye out for more opportunities to get involved in the future!

Thank you again, for giving some of our young people such a fantastic experience. 🧡💗
