Textiles - Hand Stitched Fabric Book
Using scraps of fabric, ribbon, buttons and small photos, hand stitch a series of small pages which can then be transformed into a delightful concertina style fold book. Your work can have a "theme" if you like. It could be about family and loved ones, or a particular holiday, time in your life, or pet! Your work can be vintage inspired, very contemporary or a mixture of the two.

The background fabric and some starter bits and pieces will be sent to you in advance. It would be an advantage to have some experience of hand stitching, straight stitch and maybe some decorative stitches. Enrolments for the course close about 6 days before the course starts to give us time to get the kits posted out.

Embroidery thread in your favourite colours and a collection of bits and pieces that can be sewn into your book need to be gathered together before the session. Tiny photos, tickets and other paper ephemera can be included using fine net that will be included in your starter pack.

The session is 4 hours in length although we will stop for a quick break for lunch halfway through.

A kit containing the materials you will need are included in the cost of the course and will be posted out to you before the course starts.
