What is the course about?

This is a free online taster course for families with children over the age of 5, where you will have the chance to work together or individually side-by-side on an English Paper Piecing craft project. English Paper Piecing is a popular craft for reusing and recycling old fabrics, where you fold fabric over a template shape and then hand sew these shapes together to create your finished item.
