Is this course right for me?
This class is designed for absolute beginners or for those that need a refresher.
What do I need to bring?
We have a start-up equipment kit that includes everything you need to get started and have fabric ready to go to make the class run smoothly, but if you’d like to use your own fabrics for the projects you are more than welcome to bring them. Don’t forget to bring yourself a bite to eat or there is a chippy and a sandwich shop down the road. We have a fridge, a microwave and of course a kettle.
