You'll create a botanical-inspired appliqued square from a selection of Rebekah’s plant dyed fabrics. Perfect for use in patchwork projects or stand-alone pieces like mini quilts or place mats.
Needle turn applique involves attaching fabric shapes to a background fabric by hand, neatly tucking under the raw edges and securing them with hand stitches.
Rebekah will guide you through the entire process, starting from finding inspiration in your surroundings to sketching, cutting, and stitching down your applique design. She will showcase examples from her own work and demonstrate various techniques for achieving both simple and intricate shapes.
You will learn the following processes:
Finding design inspiration
Drawing a simple template
Zero waste approaches to composition
Suitable fabric choices
Needle turn applique
Ideas for how to use your applique square
Knife edge binding
Hand quilting
Leave the workshop with a completed zero waste applique mini quilt.
