A few notes:
You have the choice of making a coin, make-up purse or clutch size purse.  You will be provided with a kit of materials.  Glue and tools for attaching the frame will be available for your use.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. 

Bring your own fabric:

Bring fabric for the outside and for the lining of your purse - about a 20cm length (115cm width) of each or 2 fat quarters. Use a light to medium-weight, woven fabric - patchwork cottons are ideal.

*Don't use knit, pile (ie velvet, towelling etc) or stretch fabrics, or fabrics heavier than a light corduroy.  

*Use a light cotton fabric for your lining, not a slippery synthetic one. 

This will make it as easy as possible to focus on the methods involved, rather than worrying about the particular quirks of a difficult fabric.  As your skills improve, you can move on to more challenging materials.

Remember to ALSO bring -

Snacks, sandwiches etc for lunch.  There is a microwave, oven, toaster and sandwich toaster available for your use if you prefer a hot lunch. 

Thread to match your fabrics

Hand-sewing needles

Pins

Fabric scissors

Paper scissors.

A Tailors chalk pencil, a pencil or biro, or an air-soluble marker (if you have one). 

 You can bring your own sewing machine or borrow one of mine (leave a message with your booking if you need to borrow a machine). 

Please make sure that your sewing machine is in working order.  Bring spare needles and spare bobbins for your machine, and thread to match your fabric and lining

I look forward to seeing you there!
