Get prepped for your Big Jubilee Lunch celebration with this bunting workshop from Craft My Day! Set up in 2016 by founder Rachel, the studio works with other local artists to create a unique space for people to come and learn a variety of crafts in a fun and relaxed setting.
With this bunting class, you can ditch the plastic options for a more sustainable option, and be able to use your decoration for many outings to come. There will be a variety of precut triangles to choose from that are relevant to the season for the course, but if you have a fabric of your own you’d like to include you can bring it along.
Craft My Day do recommend that you can sew a straight line on a sewing machine before taking this class, but if you still worried about your sewing experience teacher Anna will be on hand to help you throughout.
