Fibres, fabrics and filaments
* Now including a 1 hour bonus section on threads *
An online workshop packed with information to increase your understanding of fabric and threads
We are lucky to live in a world of seemingly endless choices, not least in the range of fabrics and threads available to us as quilt-makers and garment creators. In this live online workshop Philippa shares the knowledge she has gained in an amazing 5 decades of stitch, to help you understand more about man-made and natural fibres and fabrics.
After viewing the workshop you will understand the characteristics of the main types of thread - including when and why you might choose them. You will also have a better understanding of different types of fabrics so that you can make more informed fabric choices for your quilts and garments.
Our aim is to see you achieve greater sewing success and increased enjoyment in developing all your textile projects.

Who is Philippa Naylor?
Philippa is best known in the sewing world as a quilt maker and teacher, having won many international prizes for her quilts and being a sought after teacher.
But long before she started making quilts, Philippa worked as a clothing designer in the British clothing industry and then had a business creating bespoke evening wear and wedding dresses. In fact she credits the skills she learned making couture garments with her success as a quilter.
Having spent two years developing a popular series of on-line quilting classes, she has returned to her first love of garment making.
Working from her Yorkshire Studio, which she shares with sculptor husband Peter, Philippa has created a series of on-line garment making lessons with the goal of helping everyone make "beautifully crafted, well fitting, individual clothes that you will love to wear."
