Have you always wanted to learn patchwork skills but have felt daunted by starting on a quilt or a cushion? This is an opportunity to learn essential skills for this absorbing needlecraft, creating a useful item for your needlework tool kit, that you can complete in a half day course! Or maybe you have already worked on larger patchwork projects and would like to finesse your work on more intricate piecing, or learn hand piecing rather than machine patchwork.
We shall make a patchwork pin cushion, from calculating and drawing our own templates to the finished item. All techniques can be applied to other hand patchwork projects.

Small pieces of quilting weight cotton fabric (cotton poplin or cotton lawn can be used for work this small). Fat quarters specifically cut for patchwork, good cotton fabric from worn out summer skirts, dresses, blouses or from charity shops or remnants of fabric from other projects can be used. Boyes, Hobbycraft, Dunelm all sell packs of fat quarters, or quilting weight fabric can be bought online. The Fabric Quarter on Bailgate in Lincoln is a treasure trove of suitable fabrics with very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I would recommend not bringing any fabric smaller than about 15cm by 10cm (6 inches by 4 inches), a piece of card e.g cereal box or the back of a greetings card, scrap paper like old letters (printer weight paper), pen, pencil, ruler, sewing needle and thread to tone with fabric, scissors, pins. You may wish to bring your own compass set, but the tutor will have these available to use in class
