Classes
ONSITE: Appliqué for Beginners
Learn to elevate your sewing projects or customize existing fabric objects and garments with Applique. Students will learn raw edge, needle turn and reverse applique techniques while drawing inspiration from contemporary and historical works of art. Starting with hand sewing basics, each week students will learn a new technique with the opportunity to execute a design of their choice in the form of 12” x 12” fabric samplers that can later be applied to individual projects.
