myBearpaw Craft Classes – where you can learn new skills in a friendly, relaxed environment with an emphasis on fun and creativity.
This course is available on the myBearpaw website.
This is a fantastic technique to make quick patchwork quilts or cushions using the traditional ‘trip around the world’ pattern. We’ll start by discussing colour/pattern placement to achieve beautiful effects. We’ll then teach you the cutting and piecing needed for each individual block. You could make a large cushion and get the whole project completed during the day or plan to complete enough blocks for various sizes of quilt at home.
We’ll provide fabric guidance/requirements for a variety of different quilt sizes. Bring your sewing machine, fabric (exact amounts will be sent with your order confirmation) and basic sewing kit. Sewing machines are available on request.
This is a great class for those of you who have attended one of our beginner patchwork classes and now want to try out a new pattern, but it’s also a fun technique to learn for more experienced quilters. Sewing machine experience is necessary as well as basic familiarity with using a rotary cutter and sewing with a consistent seam allowance.
myBearpaw is a craft class studio and specialist retailer which started inside Avery Homestore (one of Edinburgh’s best independent home and craft retailers for over fifteen years). In April 2014 it moved to new premises in Edinburgh where Jo Avery further developed her myBearpaw brand of sewing classes, fabric, wool and haberdashery. In July 2020 the business was taken over by Catriona Brown who aims to continue in the same creative vein, with interesting classes and lovely craft supplies.
