Do the words "quilt as desired" bring fear into your life and cause you to end up with another unfinished project? This class will take you through quilting with the feed dogs up so that the machine does the guiding. Stitching "in-the-ditch", decorative straight stitching and quilting with the embroidery stitches on your machine will all be covered along with using the many wonderful threads now available.

Patchwork dates with Val
These classes have no fixed agenda; you can come along and work on whatever project you like (play catchup from another one, or start something new). If you have never done patchwork before, then this would be a great place to start (and check out the dates at Our Lady of Lourdes where we have more space); not only can we point you in the right direction, but you get to see lots of other ideas being worked on – inspiration for next time!
Sewing machines are available, but supply is limited so you need to book one (please remind us even if you have been before!

You can borrow our machines and equipment, but you will obviously need to have patterns and fabric – but we can certainly help and advise. For Simple dress patterns for the children the new Sew Hip magazine (which is in the shop) has some nice ideas. For Home Dec ideas you do need to bring your own pattern.
