Fanadoo!

Twiddle away - it’s fabric play! From tucked fans to a rolly foldy flower, this is a new class from the fiddley fingers of the Calico Queen. Manipulate and manoeuvre a simple square into different tactile forms. Make a table runner or create three blocks ideal for quilts, bags and wallhangings. Suitable for all abiliies.

These designs can be constructed from a variety of materials. If desired, pre-wash all materials but use a spray starch when pressing to restore ‘body’. It is appreciated that students prefer to complete or almost complete their class sample and each class is carefully designed so this should be possible. All classes are suitable for every level of sewing ability.
