The only limit in this workshop is your imagination! Once you’ve started, you’ll soon find you’ve made a stack! Lovely as gifts or to make into a wall hanging. A great way to try out new techniques and designs.
Printed fabric backs can be supplied.

What you need to bring
• Sewing machine and usual patchwork and quilting equipment – rotary cutter, ruler, board, thread, scissors etc. Your machine needs to be able to zig zag stitch, blanket stitch and blind hem and have an open foot and a blind hemming foot. Alternatively you can hire one of the Patchkits sewing machines on the day.
• Fabric – lots of fabrics but you only need small quantities. Bring a good range so you can make a number of different postcards. Great way to use up scraps or "difficult" fabrics. You can also purchase your fabric on the day
