Make this fun and enviro-friendly patchwork cushion using upcycled shirts.
Whether you’re a patchwork beginner, or an experienced quilter new to upcycling, in this one-day workshop hosted by modern quilt artist, Tara Glastonbury from Stitch and Yarn, you’ll learn how to deconstruct clothing for patchwork and sew with different weight fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
Starting with the traditional red of a log cabin we’ll be making the block before cutting it up and swapping sections with classmates to create our finished cushion top. We’ll then explore large-stitch hand quilting and options for cushion backs.
Each participant will receive step-by-step instructions to complete a 50cm x 50cm cushion.
This workshop is ideal for people aged 16+ years. Participants must have basic level sewing skills. Instruction will not include how to operate a sewing machine.
