Class Notes 
Any notes that are given in class will be just enough to get thru the night. So the rest with full explanation, colour pictures, other options and extras that came up in class etc will be listed on this page.
In the notes if there is a link then that's the source of what I have used, eg from a site or book. 
Any notes I use I may have edited to just use the relevant info for our class, so click on the link if you want to read it all. 
All the rest of the notes are mine.

 Please don't share this page link or hand out the notes to others as they are an extra just for the class.

If you have any notes, tips or images from any class, that you would like included please send them to me for loading.
Also it will be lovely to have a gallery of finished “fabrics”, art and projects if you would like to share them.  

I will load each class notes after the class and let you know or if I make changes to previously loaded notes. 

How to use the notes 
You will always have access to the notes and y
ou can click on the link at any time to see what has been listed.
For ease of use tho I would recommend downloading them to your computer

When you want class information - click on the months “click here” words.

All the notes can be opened and saved to your computer for accessing at any time or for printing out.

The downloading tab shows along the bottom of your screen (or where ever your computer version shows it happening)


When download finishes loading, click on the tab (or if no tab go to My Computer / downloads) to open ready for you to save and use.


Contact me if you have problems and I can talk you thru your computers version.

HINT: All images can be zoomed in for more detail – but it will mix up the formatting of the text.
So it may suit you to save a copy of each file as a master copy and then re-save them with a different name (or “a” at the end to differentiate each copy). 

Then play in the “a” copy and if it all becomes too much of a mess go back to the master copy.

At the top are the techniques for finishing and mounting your art. They are also in the relevant weeks class notes too.
