You will need either a ¼” foot, an open toe foot or your walking foot, rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat on the day, with a little bit of easy prepping before the day to ensure you get your zipped pouch finish during the workshop.

Here to Help! with Tina Finbow – Friday 18th July 2025 (10am – 3pm)
Here to Help! This is a new style of Sit & Sew Day with me in the background if you need a little help with your project. This is mainly aimed at Patchwork and Quilting, or finishing off projects that you may have started on a workshop at the cabin. It will not include Dressmaking, as this is not an area I cover.
It is help, not a full day’s teaching. Often you know what you are doing, but need a little help and guidance with your project.
It will need to be booked in advance of the date.
Daily Fee – £20
