Creative Fabric Pumpkins
26th September 10am -4pm
Max 6 people
Suitable for Beginners who are confident using their sewing machine.During this class you will create 3 fabric pumpkins using fabrics of your choice in three different sizes. The pumpkins will be sewn together using sewing machine and hand stitching. It is an opportunity to make a seasonal item which can be used for display or given as a gift. Your pumpkins can be any colour that you would like and this would be a good opportunity to use any larger left over pieces from other projects or matching to a colour scheme in your home. There will also be a chance to make them into a more formal display should you wish.
You will learn: To use basic pattern templates, cut and pin shapes together and stitch to create a 3D shape, look and pattern placement. Use basic machine stitches to construct your pumpkins but also look at any built in decorative stitches. Use basic hand stitches for some elements of the pumpkin and leaf embellishments.
Included in the class:
Tuition for the day in a small group environment which will enable 1:1 help where needed.
*Pattern templates in 3 sizes for each pumpkin for you to use and take home.
*Basic instructions with information related to the project to take home to make more!
*Inspiration sheets to give further ideas and possibilities for your pumpkins before making and to inspire once you get home.

You will need to bring:

*Small bag of toy stuffing which can be purchased from the shop or recycle stuffing from an unwanted cushion pad but needs to be soft in texture.
