Overlocking Classes

For many years Janet organised machine knitting holidays which were a huge success when the 'industry' was booming. With the decline of Machine Knitting, Janet diversified to overlocking and made it her speciality. Using her experience of 10 Machine Knitting Holidays, Janet organised her first sewing break in Ryedale January 2003, followed by Scarborough in November 2003. Both were rated a great success.
