Cut and Sew PHL

In this workshop, you'll start by making one small block using Foundation Paper Piecing. Then you'll repeat that block three more times and join them all together at the end!  All materials will be provided for you.

In this workshop, we'll discuss basic mending techniques and materials.  We'll look at lots of examples and help you come up with a plan for your own visible mend.  Please bring with you a piece of clothing or textile that needs to be mended so you can get started with us! 

In this one-hour class, students will learn how to use a sewing machine and get some practice time to explore the different features.  They’ll become familiar with the different parts of the sewing machine, learn how to thread the machine and the bobbin, and do some stitching on scrap fabric.

Sewing with zippers really isn’t that scary— we promise! In this class, you’ll learn a variety of ways to install zippers in your work by making different kinds of zipper pouches. You can never have too many zipper pouches (and they make great gifts)!

This is such a fun project and perfect for this time of year!  Take a large candy bag and create a zippered, lined, quilted pouch.  The bigger the bag, the easier to turn your project right side out when finishing up-- sounds like a good excuse to get the Family Size bag of your favorite candy!
