Coming up on February 16th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. — a crazy quilt square pincushion workshop with local fiber artist Pat Burcham! Learn to paper-piece a crazy patch square and embellish with hand embroidery stitches, then stuff it for an awesome pincushion. Cost is $50 and includes kit. Sign up early — class size is limited!
We get a lot of calls asking about our classes.
The classes listed
…beginners to spin their own yarn, introductory and advanced crochet, basic sewing, garment sewing, “get to know your sewing machine” classes, introductory knitting, build your own felted bag, “knit your first sweater,” sewing for kids, introductory and advanced sock knitting, provisional cast on for knitting, hand embroidery…
and that’s just the short list! What do you want to learn today? Call us and let’s talk!
We thought it was about time to show all you doubters what a true believer in craft can do! Many people assume that sewing (or any form of crafting) is something you have to do for years to achieve a great result. Not true! All it takes is an idea…
Kellie is a new sewer. She inherited her mom’s old Kenmore sewing machine — the metal kind that almost requires a wheely cart to move it! Kellie spotted some curtains for her nursery in a catalog, but after spending a bit of money on having a crib skirt and some other simple items made she was ready to venture out on her own. She sent us a picture of the curtains she wanted to make and chose her fabric.
Kellie came in to Stitch Cleveland for a private sewing lesson where Megan taught her how to measure, mark, and cut her fabric. After revving up her machine for the first time, she was hooked.
One lesson later, Kellie had finished the first curtain (check out the picture)! Kellie learned enough in her two lessons to make the second curtain on her own… just in time for her new arrival!
We are so happy that Kellie found her “inner designer” that we just had to share her achievement with everyone! You can take lessons, too! Have an idea but just don’t know where to start? Stop in to talk about it and see where it takes you.
