Kit List

Fabric : If you have some fabric already you wish to use please bring it with you; we are always keen to reuse and recycle what we have instead of buying new. You may want to wait until after our first lesson before buying anything so we can guide you on fabric choice/colour/pattern etc. 

Approximately 8 fat quarters would be ideal, but don’t worry if you don’t know what this means – all will be revealed.

Thread : 100% cotton thread in a neutral colour, I like pale grey or beige – we have this for sale

Sewing Machine : If you have one you want to use please bring it; including a 1/4” patchwork foot (if you have one)  don’t forget its cable, foot pedal and instruction manual. We have Janome machines you can borrow, please let us know if required.
