Create your own oversized, reversible patchwork bow – a statement decoration for your front door, fireplace, staircase or Christmas tree.
In this hands-on sewing workshop, you’ll combine beautiful fabrics, patchwork and personal details to create a unique bow that can be enjoyed for years to come.
Choose from a curated collection of florals, ginghams, seasonal prints and timeless textures, or bring along fabric from a loved one’s clothing to make a truly personal keepsake.
With two different fabric designs, your bow can be styled on either side, giving you two looks in one handmade creation.
