Jackie’s tips, hints, advice and info on products and fabrics

Product

Pre-printed fabric panels in all different sizes - 30% off

Ideal for

Smaller projects like cot quilts, wall hangings, cushions and bags

Jackie says…

“We’ve got a stockpile of these panels so we’re having a ‘Panel Party’. The idea here is to give people a quick, easy project to work on. These panels are especially good for beginners as they’re a manageable size and easy to work with. Why not use a panel in your next project? The Panel Party will go through to the end of September or while stocks last.
