Level 1
Assumes you know how to use a sewing machine.
Play with improvisational techniques and make containers with fabric! We will “make fabric” from scraps and stabilizer. We will embellish our creations with decorative hand stitching. These little bags can be used to contain pencils or brushes, on the vanity, or anywhere you want to corral your mess in a lovely playful way. Once you have the technique down you can crate any size and experiment with shapes to meet all your storage needs.
From Robin: This is a day to make! This is an improvisational exercise that uses machines or handwork to create small storage totes. No experience is needed! This is FuN!
