Sheffield Sewing Class: Introduction to Quilting – 4 Week Course (Spread Over 8 Weeks)
Ready to dive into the cosy world of quilting? Join me for this relaxed, beginner-friendly course where you'll learn all the essential quilting skills while making your very own small quilt — perfect as a baby quilt, lap quilt or snuggly sofa throw!
Over four fortnightly sessions, we’ll break the process down step by step — from planning your design and piecing your patchwork top, to quilting, binding and finishing. No quilting experience needed — just basic sewing machine skills and a love for fabric!
You’ll leave with a finished quilt and the skills to confidently plan and sew your own quilting projects at home.
💡 You’ll Learn:
How to plan a patchwork layout
How to cut and piece fabric accurately
How to make a quilt sandwich
Basic straight-line quilting techniques
How to bind and finish your quilt neatly
🧰 What’s Included:
10 hours of expert tuition across 4 sessions (2.5 hours each)
Use of rotary cutters, rulers, and pressing equipment in class
A friendly, supportive group environment
Tea, biscuits, and plenty of encouragement!
🧵 What You’ll Need to Bring:
To make a quilt approx. 36" x 48", you’ll need:
Patchwork fabric: Six fat quarters or approx. 1.5m of assorted quilting cotton (100% cotton) We will be cutting 48 6.5 inch squares so you can always use an assortment of cut offs for this if you prefer.
Backing fabric: 1.5m of 100% cotton
Wadding (batting): 1.5m x 1m (low-loft cotton or poly-cotton blend works well)
Binding fabric: 0.5m of coordinating fabric
Don't worry if you’re not sure what to choose — just drop me an email and I can help you with your fabric choices!
This course runs over 8 weeks, giving you time between sessions to complete homework at your own pace and absorb everything you’re learning. (You’ll need to have access to a sewing machine to complete the homework)
Whether you want to make thoughtful gifts or create handmade heirlooms, this is the perfect place to start your quilting journey.
