January Stitch Club - Scrappy Birds Tote Bag and Bird Tag.

Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 17th January 2026 at the Thomas Garrett Building, Heighington, from 10:00 - 15:00, where Kathy will be taking us through creating a scrappy birds tote bag and bird tag.




Requirements List

  • Basic sewing kit
  • Black sewing thread
  • Small fabric scraps (I have plenty)
  • Backing fabric - lightweight cotton to be covered by scraps. I have an old sheet that can be used.
  • Small piece of felt if making a bird tag.
  • Embroidery threads optional
  • Paper scissors for cutting out the templates
  • Double sided bondaweb. 
Kathy will supply a tote bag for £1 and supply cord and beads for the bird tag for free.

It’s up to the individual how many birds and leaves you choose. This means you will have a finished item at the end of the day. Of course you may choose to create a cushion panel or something else.

Please let Judith or Jacqui know you are coming.

You will also need to bring a packed lunch.  Tea/coffee/biscuits will be provided.  Cost: £5.00 members, £7.50 non-members.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks to Julie for guiding us through this.

Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 17th January, same place and time as usual when Kathy will be guiding us through creating a scrappy birds tote bag and bird tag.  More details to follow.
