​Join in the fun of the creative art of scrappy fabrics and learn to sew!

 

You will use hand stitching, machine stitching, and ironing to create your original piece of artwork from fabric scraps. All skills will be taught, but all levels are welcome!  

​

Materials will be supplied, but if you have favorite fabrics (100% cotton only, please) or embellishments, feel free to bring them. Instead of throwing old fabrics away, this is a great way to upcycle them!

 

The first project will be a design that can be displayed as is; from there, various projects will be introduced: beach bags, banners, or jacket embellishments.

 

Progress at your own pace. You can register at any time for this class.
