Join Pat as she teaches you how to make templates, cut your fabric and how to stitch them together to make a sample rosette.
What could be nicer than sitting with a glass of something while you learn the traditional art of English Paper Piecing Patchwork (EPP)?
Hand stitched patchwork is a lovely way to learn patchwork, it is portable, takes up little space and doesn’t need loads of equipment. On this first course you will learn the most common shape used in EPP, the hexagon, how to make your templates, cut your fabric and how to stitch them together to make a sample rosette.
If you have sharp scissors and paper scissors bring them, if not I have some and all other materials supplied. Drinks of your choice can be purchased at the bar.
