Description

All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven 'purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning. This course will help you develop your basic maths skills needed for life and work whilst learning how to Quilt.

You will learn a variety of techniques including: Patchwork, English and seamed piecing, crazy patchwork, log cabin; Applique, turned edge, raw edge, reverse, decorated; Quilting, traditional patterns, big stitch, tied. You will discover the work of professional quilters and the history of patchwork and quilting. There will be an emphasis on recycling old clothes and fabrics. Sewing encourages mindfulness and reduces stress and anxiety and can also increase positivity and feelings of relaxation. Your tutor will introduce you to what the course will cover in the first session.

Who is this course for?
This course is for you if you are a beginner or if you have done patchwork and quilting classes in the past. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.

How will I learn?
This is a classroom-based course. You will work on your own individual projects with guidance from your tutor. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.

What will I need?
For the first session bring along a basic sewing kit and 2 fat 1/4s of cotton fabric which is about 18 x 22 ins. Fabric will be provided for each session unless you have your own you would like to use. If you are not sure where to start or what project you would like to do then you can discuss this with the tutor. You may want to bring something to make notes.
