Alongside an extensive workshop programme there are curated displays of textile work, a fashion show and lots of lovely things to buy. I spent two very busy days teaching workshops which I enjoyed.<br>There is a dressmaking competition and these two garments really caught my eye in the Recycled textiles category. The first has been made entirely from recycled denim by Regina Fox-Galassic and isn&#8217;t it just stunning? I love the way that the maker has constructed the sleeves. The second garment has been made from silk ties by Angela Bockett-Pugh and is very inventive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1543\" width=\"374\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2222-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1544\" width=\"386\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2224-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just loved the vibrant colours of this crocheted display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1546\" width=\"394\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2217-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally&#8230;..
