Layer Cake Magic
Using 10 x 10 inch squares from layer cakes or cut from any stash it is possible to create a huge variety of blocks if you learn a few neat tricks when cutting and stitching. At this demo/workshop you can watch as Gaye and Nicola show in detail how to select, cut, stitch and combine these squares in ways that are quite magical.
Bring your own sewing machine to give these techniques a try if you wish, or decide to just sit and watch, ask questions, take photos, learn a lot and be entertained all along the way.Fee €40.00 includes some practice squares if you wish to sew, as well as tea or coffee on arrival or during the demo and afternoon tea at 4.00 p.m.
12 Noon – 4.00 p.m.
