If you are a complete beginner at Patchwork and Quilting then this is the class for you!

I will take you step by step through the basics of each skill at a relaxed and comfortable pace.

All of my classes are in small groups of up to 7 people, so I can spend plenty of time with each of you to make sure that you are happy at every stage.

Half day class. 

This class is for individuals who are new to using a sewing machine, either for the first time or perhaps after years of it gathering dust in a cupboard somewhere.

If you aren’t able to commit to the 10 week or 12 month course or want to have a go before investing in the necessary equipment, you can still choose from the following one day classes.  No previous knowledge is required as these classes focus on a single technique and there is no requirement for a sewing machine unless specified.
