Who is it suitable for?

This workshop is suitable for beginners.  Each workshop will have a maximum of 4 people so there will be plenty of time for me to help and support you through the making process.

What is included?

  • Bow pattern and instructions that you will take away with you to enable you to make more.
  • Wadding to make your bow 3D and squishy
  • Use of sewing machine and all necessary equipment
  • Refreshments – tea, coffee, squash, biscuits

What do I need to bring?

Fabric needs to be woven and non-stretchy.  Other than that it''s down to you!  Velvet looks lovely and wouldn't be too tricky to sew for this one.  

  • Main fabric
    0.9 x 0.9m will make one big squishy bow.
  • Matching thread.

We will make a hanging loop out of ribbon.  I will bring a selection with me but if you want a particular colour to match your fabric then you can bring some yourself.  You will need 35cm.

If you have any questions about this workshop then please use the contact form to get in touch.
