During the Course, we will make 3 different Keepsake Items, starting from a basic Heart, then a Patchwork Cushion, before moving onto a Mini Keepsake Bunny. We will learn many tips and tricks along the way, including fabric types and how they work, pattern placement, how to stuff, patchwork, Hand Embroidery and much more.

There's a lot that goes into making Keepsake Items and each step is extremely important and for it you will need some basic sewing skills.

We will be covering how to ensure the fabrics are prepared correctly, each item is sewn securely, and all finishing details added enhance the product beautifully.

Details are my speciality an important aspect of Keepsake Making. There are many ways to embellish and embroider Keepsakes, so for this beginners course, we will be using Hand Embroidery to add features to our Bunny.
