✂️ Appliqué Greeting Card Workshop

A mindful, creative morning making beautiful stitched cards

Join us for a relaxing, hands‑on workshop where you’ll create a collection of unique appliqué greeting cards — perfect for birthdays, thank‑yous, celebrations, or simply to build a stash you’ll be proud to send.

This session is all about slow, mindful making. You’ll explore simple appliqué techniques, play with colour and texture, and enjoy the calm rhythm of stitching while being inspired by the group and the examples provided.

It’s also a brilliant chance to explore what your sewing machine can really do. You’ll get to experiment with stitch lengths, zigzags, decorative stitches, and other fancy settings, learning through play rather than pressure. It’s creative, confidence‑boosting, and definitely doesn’t feel like school.

🌿 What to Expect

• A relaxed, friendly atmosphere

• Templates to spark ideas

• A wide range of fabrics, papers, threads, and embellishments

• Guidance and inspiration throughout

• Freedom to make as many cards as you like

• Time to experiment with your machine’s stitches

• A chance to unwind, create, and enjoy the process

You’ll leave with a beautiful collection of appliqué cards — the kind people keep, admire, and ask “How did you make that?”
