We will be using a sewing machine and preloved fabrics to create a 9 square patchwork design. We will be learning how to accurately cut and stitch so that seams align. We will also make a clever disappearing 9 square too! You are free to take your makes home and turn them into decorative items such as cushions or bags. If time allows within the workshop, we could also do that here.
