This nostalgic crazy patchwork has a feel of the past, but is created using today's technology. This will not be a workshop on how to use your machine. It is how to use it more creatively. You will have the opportunity to utilise your embroidery stitches in a more creative way, giving you the opportunity to learn more about your sewing machines' capabilities through experimentation with lots of traditional and creative texturing techniques such as pin tucking, scrunching, bobbin work, pleating and much more. This is the perfect opportunity to use some of those treasured pieces of fabric, trims, buttons & beads that you have acquired over the years. The piece of fabric you create could be turned into cushions, a table runner or be the basis for a wall quilt.

Suitable for all levels - no kit available
