Maybe you always cut too much (or too little) wrapping paper and end up in a sticky tape mess? Perhaps you’ve already decided you want to join a class but know you’d struggle in a group and worry that you’d slow everyone down? Or it could be that the dates or venue for joining an in person class don’t work for you (or fit your busy schedule)? If any of these sound familiar, then you’ll love my 60 minute 1-2-1 virtual class. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 60 MINUTE 1-2-1 CLASS No Replay £67 * How to measure exactly how much gift wrapping paper you need so you always know how much to cut (and why it’s important * Wrap a box (using the paper & only 3 pieces of tape * Learn to tie 2 different styles of bow (and when to use each one) 60 MINUTE 1-2-1 CLASS Includes replay £87 * How to measure exactly how much gift wrapping paper you need so you always know how much to cut (and why it’s importnat) * Wrap a box (using the paper & 3 pieces of tape * Learn how to tie 2 different styles of bow (and when to use each one) * A replay of the class -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IN PERSON & A VIRTUAL CLASS? At a 60 minute virtual class you will get 1-2-1 tuition on the techniques which I cannot guarantee you’d get at a group in person class (although I always try to do my best).

Learn how to measure, cut and stitch accurate patchwork quilt blocks in this one day workshop. Part of a 4 day quilt course, but suitable as a stand alone class too. This class is a great class to take after the beginners class as the sewing will be mostly straight lines and it will allow you to practice more seams and other skills learned in the beginners class. You will need to know how to handle a sewing machine for this class but it's very much still a class that's achievable for beginners. You will cover design, measuring, cutting, the use of various tools, and stitching.
