Sewing for Improvers - Applique Purse

Last one for the Summer School this year, phew time to put my feet up, well not really, but at least not spend all my time at the Folk House.

A lot of this group came to the cushion workshop earlier in the week, so had the very basics of sewing already, this time they came to improve their skills, learn how to put in zips, and a bit of decoration with applique and some tried free machine embroidery.

More again on the 5th November £17.75 concessions available http://www.bristolfolkhouse.co.uk/

Getting to know your sewing machine

Another one as part of the Folk House Summer School, this time learning how to use a sewing machine and making simple cushion cover to practice the skills. This included pattern cutting, sewing straight lines and button holes! Next class is 5th November at the Folk House, contact them for details.
