Materials Required
All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and few bits and bobs from your sewing box! All materials packs (fabrics, threads, instructions, etc) are provided for you to take away with you afterwards - you're certainly not expected to complete your project over the course of the holiday, but should be able to go away with all the skills required to do so at your own leisure!
To encourage your creativity, your materials pack will be a mixture of interesting and unusual materials and threads for you to experiment with.
You are welcome to bring along any other bits and bobs, as well as your own threads, beads, small buttons, sequins, charms, lace, etc, to incorporate in your stitching. A requirements list of basic equipment will be sent out to all participants beforehand.
