Tumbling Reels – an Online Group Workshop – September 17th and October 15th

This is an online course consisting of a one-hour, ‘Get Ready!’ session where I show you how I choose colours, go through the pattern and what you need to prep. The ‘Get Ready!’ session is followed a few weeks later by the four-hour group workshop, all via zoom. The workshop consists of two one-hour demo’s by me, each followed by solo sewing and questions by you.

Get Ready! -Sunday, September 17th, 7-8pm (BST) World Time Buddy

Workshop – Sunday, October 15th, 5-9pm BST World Time Buddy

12pm-4pm EDT

Learning objectives:

The Tumbling Reels workshop is all about Ovals, how to cut the pieces using the NEW Oval and Long Oval Multiple Drunkard’s Path templates and how to sew the really tight curves on the thinnest shape and the big and long curves on the larger shapes, all without using pins. I’ll also show you all my tricks on pressing your curved blocks to make them super flat. Oh, and seam-matching, lots of seam- matching!

In the, ‘Get ready!’ session I talk pattern, templates and colour and I will show you how to cut your curves in preparation for the workshop.

The workshop will be about sewing, pressing and assembling the different ovals. If you are daunted by the sharpness of some of those bends, I’ll give you tips on how to make this pattern easier for you (but give it a try first!). There will also be ideas on how to use other PSS templates to create the look of depth for those of you who already have my templates and is managing to resist the NEW sets;)
