As part of our schedule of special summer workshops, we're excited to host a beginner's session in patchwork! Paper piecing is a traditional patchwork technique that's all about hand sewing, precision and enjoying the process. We aim to take the fear out of the craft and give you the confidence to get started.
This is the kind of skill that can bring you hours and hours of sewing happiness. We’ll go through everything you need to know, from cutting out your shapes to hand sewing to how to piece them together, through to ideas of what to make with your piece once you’re finished...
If you are looking for a great day out and are into all things creative then make a note on the calendar for 30 January - 1 February when Craft 4 Crafters returns to Westpoint Arena .
The show is the ideal place to buy thousands of crafting supplies, and get some great ideas and inspiration. With leading local and national exhibitors offering products for Card Making, Papercrafts, Stamping, Scrapbooking, Sewing, Cross Stitch, Embroidery, Beading, Painting, Patchwork, Quilting, Knitting, and many others.
