Please bring your own

  • scissors, pins and a selection of needles.
  • Scraps of cotton fabric, some with pattern and some without, that you would like to work with. (Old jeans/denim, work-shirts and any light cottons are perfect, please avoid stretchy, shiny or textured fabric as this is very difficult to work with.)

  • sisyrnau, pinnau a detholiad o nodwyddau.
