DurationIf you have ever wondered about the difference between patchwork and quilts, or how quilts are made and fancied having a go, then this introductory course is for you! We will take you through each step of patchwork and quilt making.
You will learn how to cut squares of fabric with a rotary cutter, how to fit and sew them together to make a patchwork top (and how important an iron is in quilt making!). You will then add wadding and backing fabric to your patchwork top, and use a sewing machine to learn some basic quilting. You will then finish your mini quilt with a border.
All materials, equipment and sewing machines are provided for your use as well as plentiful tea and coffee.
Here at the Leicestershire Craft Centre we aim to pass on our art and craft knowledge in a fun and inspiring way. Everyone will leave a course with a finished piece and the know-how to continue making more.
Enjoy an evening making 2 lanterns using your choice from a great range of fabrics. You will take away your 2 lanterns at the end of the workshop all ready to display and use in your home or garden. (Please note these are for battery operated tea lights only).
This workshop is suitable for those who have used a sewing machine before, can confidently thread the machine and bobbin and have sewn several projects before. If you need a beginners class or a refresher then have a look at beginners classes available.
Learn to use dressmaking patterns and make your own garments with us on a Full Day workshop in the Crafty Studio!
The class will work on a project which is set by the tutor. It covers pattern alteration, fabric choice, and fitting, pinning and cutting out. You’ll be shown how to use sewing machines and how to make and finish garments.
Get started with a practice session creating samples to help you sew in a straight line, understand the importance of seam allowances, learn the many functions on your machine and tension for the fabric type.
