LOVED IT! Confess I was having a wobble by the time I turned up - I haven't done much machine sewing at all, and nothing for quite a long time. A little refresher on how to thread the machine the day before the workshop was all that I needed though - it's as simple as sewing simple straight lines. The instructions were clear and the workshop runs at a lovely steady pace - getting the hang of one thing before moving on to the next. It was great for those that were both fast and slow - those that can sew better just have less to do when they get home but each step can be practised with only a few pieces sewn together. To be clear, you won't come away with a completed quilt, but you will have practised the patchworking to make the patterned top, have made your binding for the edge of the quilt, and been shown how the rest of it comes together including really clear demonstrations and printed instructions and guidance. I am hopeful (and reasonably confident) that I will have a lovely squishy quilt in the next few weeks and that it will be the first of lots!
Fabulous fun! I really enjoyed this class, Sian was just lovely and I managed to make some earrings and a few other bits that I was very pleased with for a first attempt. I would definitely recommend it to others and it seemed good value for money compared to similar classes too.
Such an enjoyable morning in peaceful surroundings with a lovely tutor who was very helpful with my mum who suffers with Dementia. So many different options of colours to work with, I highly recommend this for a treat day out!
