    Patchwork & Quilting

    Create a beautiful quilt from scratch under the expert eye of our tutor Carol Ann. Working in small groups and at your own pace you’ll create a machine sewn quilt with patchwork blocks the size of a play-mat, single sized bed or larger. With no more than ten students in the class, you’re assured plenty of individual tuition as well as support and encouragement from your fellow students.

    This course is perfect for complete beginners to students wanting to improve their patchwork skills and build their knowledge and experience.

    Curtains & Roman Blind workshop

    Learn to make your own curtain or roman blind at The Sewing Shed! With only one other person in the class, you’re guaranteed expert tuition and guidance from Leonie. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have made at least one finished curtain or blind in your own choice of fabric and more importantly, have learned the skills to be able to continue making at home.

    This class is for experienced sewers and ideally, you’ll have completed one of our Saturday sewing socials or one of our 6 week sewing courses. This will ensure you have the core sewing skills and confidence you need to tackle curtains and roman blinds.

    Once we’ve received your payment, we will send you an information sheet which will show you how to measure up your window as well as a handy shopping list.
