Hand-stitch Kaleidoscope
with Jocelyn Thornton
This class takes us back to meaningful hand-stitching with a focus on precision. Described by Jocelyn as ‘paper piecing without the paper’ this class will teach fussy cutting, precise measuring, wonderful techniques to take bulk out of seams, and of course- the Kaleidoscope pattern.
As this is a hand stitching class we have taken the opportunity to go upstairs at Karori Arts and Crafts to a room with comfy chairs.
Please note: we are looking at a later start time for this class so times will be confirmed soon.
Members $50
Non-members $55
