At West End Sewing Centre in Cheltenham we had a 'full house' for the Creative Overlocking Course.
Everyone had a good time, making flatlocking stitching, rolled hems, lettuce edges, adding lace and beads, stitching with wire. Just how versatile the Overlocker can be is amazing!!!
Today's workshop - Creative Ways with Bias, went down very well indeed. Creating your own trimmings to match your garments, or soft furnishing, just make your projects individual and unique.
Using a Rotary Cutter, board, and Cutting Rulers, Everyone made their own bias, piping, corded inserts, flat soft hem edges, bias ruffles and much more in many sizes with all sorts of fabrics-
- navy strip look so different when cut on the cross- !!
Bet you didn't know you could do so much with Bias!

At my regular evening sewing workshops at Karen's Studio in Coventry the students have been busy getting to grips with patchwork squares, finding out how to turn up smart trousers, making a fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a lovely draping skirt to match - made in beautiful Indian Design hand woven silk fabric and learning new mixed media techniques. As usual everyone enjoyed a cup of tea and homemade cake as well.
