SUMMARY:Melbourne : GJ's Fabrics
DESCRIPTION:Join me for a Crafty Extravaganza from June 28th to 30th! \nAre you ready for a creative adventure that spans three exciting days? Join me for three days of workshops where you get to choose your own crafting path! \nWorkshop Details: \nDates: Friday 28th\, Saturday 29th\, and Sunday 30th June \nLocation: The spacious and well-lit classroom upstairs at GJ’s in Fairfield. Enjoy ample street parking and a shop stocked with all the supplies you’ll need. \nClasses Offered: \n\nQuilt Coat Class: BOOK HERE!\n\nTime: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm\nDive into creating your very own quilt coat. This class spans two days to ensure you can perfect your creation.\n\n\nRetreat Bag Class: BOOK HERE!\n\nTime: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm\nCraft a stylish retreat bag perfect for carrying your crafting essentials. This class is designed to be completed in a single day.\n\n\nKawandi Class: BOOK HERE!\n\nTime: 10:30 am – 3:30 pm\nExplore the traditional quilting technique of kawandi. While this class can be completed in a day\, those wishing to turn their kawandi piece into a bag may need additional time or careful instruction.\n\n\n\nWorkshop Logistics: \n\nEach day\, classes will have staggered start times to accommodate all participants.\nA friendly workshop assistant will be on hand to provide guidance and support throughout the sessions.\n\nFees: \n\nfrom $150 per day: This fee covers the workshop session\, morning tea\, and lunch.\nPlease note: The fee does not include your choice of quilt coat pattern. A prep & requirement list is provided in each class description. An additional fee is charged for larger kits in the Kawandi or Retreat Bag classes.\n\nAdditional Kits: \n\nExtra or larger kits are available to order.\n\nReserve Your Spot: \nDon’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to do these popular classes! Whether you attend for one\, two\, or all three days\, you’re guaranteed to have a wonderful time crafting and connecting with fellow quilters. Reserve your spot now and get ready to create something fun! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFabric & Notions Requirements for Quilt Coat Class: \n\nQuilt Sizing: For sizes up to 18\, a 60” square quilt will typically suffice. Larger sizes or hooded coats may require additional quilted pieces or a larger quilt. Ensure you have enough quilted fabric by printing out pattern pieces and checking them before class. You can also opt to patch and quilt pieces separately for each pattern piece rather than cut up a full sized quilt.\nPreparation: If possible\, pre-shrink your quilt by washing it with cool water and colour catchers.\nQuilt Style: Simple one-block quilts are easiest to work with\, quilts with multiple or large borders can pose challenges but can work with proper pattern placement.\nQuilting Density and Wadding: Lighter quilting and wadding result in a lighter and softer coat. Opt for all-over\, diagonal\, or gridded quilting patterns\, avoiding densely or horizontal line quilted fabrics.\nBacking/Lining Fabric: Consider backing your quilt with cotton lawn\, voile\, or sateen to reduce bulk.\nBias Binding: You’ll need at least 5 meters of 2” cut bias binding. You can make your own bias binding or purchase pre-made bias tape. Alternatively\, reuse old quilt binding.\nButtons or Press Studs: 4-5 1” buttons or heavy-duty metal press studs.\nThread: Use 40wt cotton for machine piecing and 50wt cotton for slip-stitching binding.\nGeneral Sewing Supplies: Ensure you have a walking foot\, pins\, wonder clips\, hand sewing needles\, permanent marker\, erasable marker or chalk pen\, scissors\, fabric glue\, and a quick unpick.\n\nPattern Options: \n\nGrainline Studio – Tamarack Jacket with two size ranges (0-18 & 14-32) as well as optional pattern extensions.\nPatchwork & Poodles – Patchwork Chore Coat\, which includes a hood and pockets.\nCrinkle Dreams – The Elemental Coat\, includes many options\n\nRemember to download and print out your chosen coat pattern in the correct size\, and follow the individual pattern instructions for measuring\, sizing\, and printing at home. If unsure\, size up. Trace pattern pieces onto Trace & Toil (or mid weight interfacing)\, cut the left & right front and sleeve pieces\, and ensure all relevant pattern markings are copied. Don’t forget to label each piece with your name. \n\n\n\n\n\nFeel free to email me with any questions!\n\n\n\n\n \nRequirements for Retreat Bag Class:  \n\nFabric Selection: Students are required to provide their own fabric for the outer shell and lining of the retreat bag. For a small bag\, you’ll need a Fat Quarter for the outer fabric and half a meter for the lining. For a large bag\, you’ll need half a meter of each fabric for the outer and lining.\nNotions: Bring along matching thread\, top stitching sewing machine needles \, pins\, scissors\, a rotary cutter and cutting mat (if preferred)\, measuring tape\, and a seam ripper.\nSewing Machine: Bring your sewing machine in good working condition\, along with its manual and any accessories you may need\, such as a quarter inch foot\, zipper foot or walking foot.\nIron and Ironing Board: Irons and ironing boards will be available for use during the class. You may wish to bring a small personal iron for pressing seams and applying interfacing as needed.\n\nEnsure you have all necessary materials and tools prepared before the class\, as the printed pattern\, interfacings and hardware required for constructing the retreat bag will be included in the provided kit. \n \nRequirements for Kawandi Class: \n\nPersonal Items: Don’t forget to bring your glasses if you require them for close work. Additionally\, bring your favorite thimble to aid in hand stitching\, as well as a small pair of scissors for trimming threads and fabric.\nProvided Kit: A complete kit containing everything you need to make a 45cm kawandi will be provided for each participant. This kit includes all necessary materials such as fabrics\, threads\,  pins and needles.\n\nCancellation Policy: We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise\, leading to the need for cancellation. However\, due to travel arrangements from interstate\, we kindly request a minimum of 7 DAYS notice for cancellations. This allows us to attempt to fill your reserved spot or accommodate any changes effectively. Alternatively\, you are welcome to send a replacement attendee in your place. \nFor participants who have purchased kits\, arrangements can be made to have them mailed to you upon cancellation. Please note that rescheduling of the workshop in Melbourne will not be possible in 2024. \nRegrettably\, failure to provide notice within the stipulated timeframe or non-attendance on the day of the class will result in forfeiture of the entire class fee.

If rescheduling is not feasible or if you prefer not to reschedule\, a full refund of the class fee will be provided. We strive to provide more than 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes. \nWe appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding our cancellation policy.
