Workshop 2nd day: Sewing with Jenny Haynes: Curves and Transparency on Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 10:00 - 17:00

Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 10:00am - 5:00pm

Curves and Transparency

In this workshop we will play with Jenny's blocks from the BOM 2023, which she designed together with Lucy Engels. Jenny will guide you through the many techniques needed to make these blocks.

Among the many techniques and skills covered in this class are small and large no-pin curves (curve sewing without pins), the use of freezer paper, and color play to create transparency.

Jenny also has incredibly great tips on how to make your blocks accurately and how to adjust your seams if they are not 100% right. There are also tricks for ironing correctly. This is a block-based design.

You can choose between one or all three different blocks.

Have a Zoom session with Jenny in advance to discuss color choices etc.

There is a FREE prep video for all participants to get to know each other:

To prepare, there is a one-hour "Get Ready!" online Zoom session for all participants to discuss the pattern, color, stencils and preparations you can make.

The “Get Ready!” session will be recorded for you to watch again and will be available on Jenny's teaching platform along with all the course material.

"Get ready!" session:
Via Zoom, 20:00-21:00, August 5 th
