'washed and worn'

"worn and washed fabrics" has been around for 18 years, mainly selling ready to sew bundles of re claimed fabrics to make unique quilts with a softness and originality to call your own, the bundles have sold at Liberty in London which led to Kim making their patchwork/craft bundles for many years, the current collection of fabrics consists of re claimed fabrics mixed with Liberty pieces, the liberty kits are all new fabrics, many of them are vintage and exclusive to Kim.

Kim collects the clothing from charity shops, washes, line dries, cuts, irons and collates the bundles herself, many of the colourways are now standards, "washday blues" shabby chic" "new year neutrals" are just a few. These are always one offs and limited edition bundles, recently she has developed a range of re claimed damask and linen bundles and kits which feature the Liberty designs....everything is always a unique mix! In this workshop you will have the chance to make a “washed and worn” 50”x60” quilt, pieced and basted, ready to hand quilt.

Kim will be bringing 500gram bundles of “washed and worn” fabrics for £60, payable to her on the day. You may of course bring your own fabric if preferred, however they must all be washed, cut and trimmed to 5” strips ready to sew as there is no time on the day to do all the necessary prep..
