Patchwork pouch
“I really enjoyed the day there was no stress thinking about what material or supplies you needed as it was all there ready for you which meant you just had to arrive and enjoy sewing. Iv never done any patchwork before but I enjoyed the experience. Bianca is so patient and an excellent teacher that I felt really comfortable asking for help the atmosphere.”

“I have been to a few of Bianca's sewing events and especially loved her recent Valentine's workshop. Everything had been organised to perfection so we could just enjoy the day making the pouch. It was a great environment too, looking forward to doing another one”
Gail
Heart pouch workshop
“I didn't look at the instruction as Bee was so good at showing and explaining the next steps. I went in my own but soon fitted into the group there was plenty of chatter and laughter too. Lovely lunch was provided. Then back to the sewing. Bee is so caring and kind and willing to help when needed We all managed to complete the pouch. thank you”
Lianne
Absolutely brilliant
“What a lovely day! I've never done any quilting before, so this looked perfect. The kit set up was brilliant. Very well organised. As there were only 8 of us it was the perfect size. Never had to hang around for help. Lots of space to work so not at all cramped. I'd definitely do another workshop or a social.”
