Patchwork cushion and pouch
In this online class we will make this simple but striking patchwork cushion cover. It’s great beginners sewing project, you just need to be competent with your machine.
What will we cover?
Don’t worry if you’ve never attempted any patchwork before… this is a great project for learning simple steps and techniques.
With the left over fabrics we’ll go on to show you how to make a simple zipped pouch too.
How will I be taught?
Our online classes are fun and friendly (you can check our our reviews on Tripadvisor, Google or Facebook) and because we teach lots of face to face classes too we know where you might go wrong before you do.
Don’t worry if you’ve never done an online class before – we have. The online sewing class will be hosted on Zoom to allow us chance to show you clearly all the steps you need and have multiple cameras working. Hosted from a well lit space with good cameras you will see all the detail you need, and of course get chance to ask all the questions you can think of.
Do I need any previous experience or skills?
This is suitable for beginners.
Are materials provided? Is there anything I need to source myself?
You will need 4 fat quarters of fabric (a fat quarter is approx 19″ x 22″). Fat quarters can easily be bought in person or online from most fabric shops.
10″ / 25cm zip with plastic teeth. (It can be longer if you have one in your cupboard already)
What will I take home with me?
By the end of the session you will have learned how to make your own patchwork cushion and pouch and be well on your way to finishing them.
Refreshments
Drinks and biscuits will be available from your own kitchen – don’t forget to buy some!
