If you've never used a sewing machine before, or it's been a long time, you will be very welcome in the Bespoke by Bella groups. If you are more experienced and want to try something new or simply sew with friends, then you will have lots of fun too!
WHAT'S INCLUDED:

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:
- Half-a-metre each of two different 100% cotton fabrics (1m total, quilt-weight type) for your first couple of projects (tote bag and zipper purse). Prints that work nicely together are ideal, because you can use them together for front/back/inside/outside of the projects as needed.
