Fabric Fantasy and Amazing Manipulations

Combine these nifty, natty notions and creatively textured designs into a tucked and twiddled panel. Explore the fascination of intriguingly manipulated Trumpets, 'Crossed over Tucks', the Petal Pattern border and more. All these innovative techniques can be used for quilts, garments and other soft-furnishings.

It is appreciated that students prefer to complete or almost complete their class sample and each class is carefully designed so this should be possible. All classes are suitable for every level of sewing ability. (For a coloured picture - view the workshop on the web sitewww.jennierayment.com)

Requirements:

The panel can be made from one colour or use a variety of materials. Plain/hand-dyed/self patterned fabrics are a good choice. If desired, pre-wash all materials but use a spray starch when pressing to restore 'body'. Cotton materials are preferable and students choosing to work all in calico (USA muslin) - it is advisable to select a medium grade rather than a fine fabric.

Please cut all pieces before class
