Your Christmas table is about to get a handmade upgrade.
Join me at Guthrie & Ghani to sew reusable fabric crackers you can fill, gift and bring out year after year. We’ll explore fabric combinations, add beautiful finishing touches and turn a festive favourite into something worth keeping.
I’ll bring a selection of Liberty fabrics from my own personal stash to choose from, and we’ll talk about how to use other suitable fabrics including favourites from your own collection to make more at home.
This is a small sewing project with plenty of impact. I’ll guide you through the machine sewing and construction, with help every step of the way.
What you’ll learn
How to choose and cut suitable fabrics.
The machine-sewing techniques used to construct your crackers.
How to finish, assemble and refill them for future celebrations.
What’s included
Materials to make at least one reusable cracker (skill level dependent - you may make more!), use of the studio’s sewing machines and equipment, take-home instructions, and three hours of teaching with me, Nerrisa. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included too - yum!
