Get Ready for Sew Along. Thursday 26 March at 18.30GMT

Hello,

I look forward to seeing you at the virtual make a cushion session.  Let’s hope the technology works for us!

You should finish up with a 50x50cm cushion.

I’m just scheduling 30 mins to kick us off.  And let’s see where we get to from there (I’m tight, and my company isn’t shelling out for a version of Zoom where I can meet for >40 mins with more than one person). It’s a marathon not a sprint.

What you will need.

  • A sewing machine

  • Scissors or a rotary cutter

  • 1m cotton or other suitable fabric (for those non/novice sewists fabric is typically about 1.5m wide.  The 1m mentioned is essentially the length)

  • Ruler

  • Chalk/fabric pen/pencil

  • Pins

  • Iron and ironing board

We’ll be working with a 1.5cm seam throughout unless advised otherwise.

Before you join it would be useful to have made your pattern and cut out your fabric.  That should take about 30 mins.

Fabric pieces.

  • One 53x53cm

  • Two 53x35 cm 

  • 2.1m piping (optional)
