New Sewing Sessions at Frangipani Fabrics

Come and sew those unfinished projects, or start a new project, in a friendly and relaxed environment. Sewing machines are welcome. Moira Bevan, formerly of Quilting on the Edge, and other Frangipani staff are here to help you at any stage of your project, be it a bag, soft toy, or a quilt, from designing, to planning and finishing! Morning tea included. Rotary cutters, mats, rulers and irons are available for your use in the class area. Please let us know if you would like to borrow a sewing machine during class time. Sewing sessions are held every Wednesday and Thursday (except public holidays), from 9:30am-12:30pm. You can enrol online or in person.

Our clever customer Margaret Jackson came to a sewing session this month and in 3 hours pieced her interpretation of our Bistro Betty Apron (on sale at $6).

She used a combination of Del Hi Spots Cinnamon, and some Indigenous fabrics to make a stunning apron for her daughter.  Margaret used 50cm of three fabrics. She then went on to make another apron in reds and whites.  Imagine all the beautiful colour combinations you can use to make this easy patchwork apron.

Thanks Peta. I'll let Margaret know her apron was admired. She'll be chuffed!
