About

Kawandi Quilting Workshop with Sandra Streeter

Join Sandra Streeter for a creative and relaxing workshop exploring Kawandi, a traditional quilting technique from Western India. Using only a simple hand running stitch, you'll create a colourful, textured piece while embracing the sustainable practice of reusing fabrics.

This session is perfect for both beginners and experienced makers, offering a fresh and mindful approach to quilt making that can be adapted for full-size quilts or smaller panels for bags, cushions, and other quilted creations.

What You'll Learn

- Choosing and placing fabrics for visual impact

- Folding edges for a neat finish

- Selecting threads and creating textural interest

- Designing secondary patterns through purposeful fabric placement

- Unpicking garments to reuse as fabric (offered as a future skill—not used in this session)

Included in Your Workshop

- Expert tuition from Sandra Streeter

- Use of an ironing station, cutting mats, scissors, and rotary cutters

- All fabrics, you will have a bundle of fat quarters, needles, and threads provided

All for only £35

What to Bring

- Your coffee, tea, and snack

Optional: a fabric you'd love to include in your quilt​.
