Welcome to the Fabric Fun Craft Club. As a general rule, we ‘meet’ once a month, usually now on Zoom. You sign up for each month’s club (or, sometimes, 2 months at a time, with the second month being a follow-on from the first.) I send you a box containing everything you need to make that month’s projects, so you don’t need to source items, or buy a large quantity of something, just to try it out.
Then, on club night, I go through how to make the project. I show you all the techniques you need. You can ask questions on the evening, or on the group page. After the club night, you will find the tutorial videos on Teachable, where you have unlimited access, so you can watch them again if you need to. You will also find the written instructions, lists of places to buy further supplies, and anything else useful you may need.
Free club nights!
As an introduction the the club, and to celebrate the launch of its dedicated website, there will be two free club nights. .
For these, you will need to sign in, to get the Zoom link. The club night will be free. You can join in using your own materials or you can order a pack, containing materials to make the evening’s project.
The first one will be held on Thursday, 19th August at 8pm and will introduce English Paper Piecing, a method of creating patchwork by hand. We will be making a single block of the Tumbling Blocks pattern, which you can turn into a coaster.
In order to join in, you will need:
Needle, thread, 3 pins and scissors
3 stiff paper diamond templates (The sides of the diamond should be about 2″.)
3 pieces of cotton (all a similar weight) about ¼” bigger all round than the paper templates. They should be in three intensities of colour, pale, medium and dark in shades / patterns which go together.
If you order a pack, it will contain all the above except scissors, plus a link to written instructions. Packs for this club night will cost £2.50.
The second free club night will be in September (date to be confirmed) and will be a bigger project, probably over two nights – we’ll make a no-pattern skirt.
