Sewists, weavers & fabric collectors often have stashes of “special” fabric that they dream of using but are fearful of taking scissors to. Some people have clothing they love that is outdated or unflattering that they would like to celebrate in a new garment. In this workshop, students will bring in their ‘precious’ fabrics, clothing, trims and embellishments and will develop a plan for creating a beautiful new garment. Using commercial sewing patterns as a template, students will learn creative ways to use pattern pieces as a canvas for showcasing their beloved fabrics. Seam finishes and other surface design sewing techniques will be included. In the 6 hour workshop, they will begin laying out their patterns and will create a plan for their new garment. In the 12 hour workshop, they will cut, sew and possibly finish their garments. Skill level: Students should have basic sewing knowledge and a machine that they are comfortable sewing on. This is NOT a ‘learn to sew’ workshop, although adventurous beginners are welcome.
All classes run 9am - 5pm unless otherwise indicated in the description above.
