Woman sewing at Borderland Fabrics

Our formal teaching programme is listed below but we are always keen to hear from you if there is anything in particular you would like to learn.We will be happy to try to set it up for you. For beginners' classes we like to keep numbers small to give maximum individual attention. Normal classes are usually up to about 12 people although we can accommodate 20 depending on ability and requirements.

Outwith the formal classes we enjoy 'drop –in days' during the week and the ever popular Friday 'Patch & Chat' where you are welcome to bring in your own project to work on with Cathy on hand to help out as required. Whatever else a good laugh with like-minded people is guaranteed!!!
