Monthly Beginners Patchwork class with Janet Goddard

(This is a monthly class that continues on mostly the 4th Friday of each month)

Friday 24th January – 10am – 3.30pm – £39 for each month – This class is designed for beginners in patchwork. Working at your own pace, this informal and supportive class will help you to build your patchwork skills.  Over the months, you will have the opportunity to make a range of patchwork blocks that develop your skills with an option to make them into a table or bed runner, sampler quilt or cushion.

Each month focusses on a new patchwork skill or technique in addition to all the basics including use of tools, cutting with the rotary cutter, stitching  ¼ in seams, pressing and finishing techniques.

The techniques covered from January – June include Dresden plate blocks, machine applique, card trick and snails trail blocks, folded flying geese, stained glass patchwork, foundation paper piecing.

A working knowledge of how to use your sewing machine is essential. You may sign up to just one day but this class continues over the next five months and possibly beyond.
