Textile Workshop: Patchwork "Paper Piercing" (bilingual)

Textile Workshop: Patchwork "Paper Piercing"
Monday, Sept. 18 (5-8 p.m.)
COLab* at the Startblock B2
 

This textile workshop is entirely dedicated to patchwork. Patchwork means sewing small pieces of fabric together to create a whole new project. There are different techniques, in this workshop we will use the "Paper Piercing" method. In the workshop you will start with a project, such as a pillowcase, which you can then make on your own at home or at our sewing meetings. Patchwork projects take a lot of patience and time, so this workshop is meant to be an introduction to the subject.
