Crazy Patchwork

Use all your scraps and go wild learning this easy technique, made popular in Victorian times. Suitable for beginners upwards.

Please note - the workshop starts at 10 a.m. - please do not arrive before 9.45 a.m.

Use all your scraps and go wild learning this easy technique, made popular in Victorian times. We will use a sewing machine to create the patchwork, however you could sew by hand if you wish. If time allows, we may also explore a range of decorative hand-embroidery stitches to embellish your work.

The aim is to create a 16 x 16” panel but you may not finish a complete piece during this session. It’s a technique which you can take away and keep adding to as you go along.

What we will provide:

Plenty of scraps!

Backing fabric to attach the scraps to

Embroidery silks in a wide range of colours

Tea/Coffee and biscuits!

What you will need to bring:

We would prefer you to bring your own sewing machine, however if this is not possible we do have some you can rent for a charge of £5.

Your own selection of lightweight fabric scraps—we also have lots of scraps available in the shop for you to use (no charge)
