Stitching by Design

​A sketchbook full of ideas, but struggling to turn it into a creative textile?
​
​We all need a guiding hand every now and then;  ​Stitching by Design ​ aims not to teach you how to sew, but what to sew!  We will help you in the decision making process, guide you in the choice of techniques and before too long you'll be getting out of the sketchbook and into fabric and thread!
You will develop the design skills needed to create  original work using your sketchbook as a starting point.  This stitched textile could be a quilt, a wall hanging, a mixed media piece, a garment or anything else you wish to sew! Together we will bring out the best of your skills and design inspiration.
​This course is a great follow-on from our ​Inspiration to Stitch​ course or if you have some sewing experience or patchwork and quilting skills and want to develop you practical skills and start to create original work. 

​Unfortunately if you are new to sewing this isn't the course for you, perhaps one of our short courses or one-day workshops would be more suitable?
Stitching by Design will run twice monthly on Thursday until Christmas and then monthly until July.
