and save some cash while ya do it! Take a look at these projects friends, Ingritt and Darryl made together last week. They caught the “I wanna sew” bug and signed up for a few lessons together while the kids are were in school. Fun! Their first lesson was a pattern for a coin purse with a zipper, a little overwhelming for them at first, but with our help it was a breeze. Their second project was this shoulder bag, Ingritt chose our fabric with the bird from Tina Givens collection and Darryl has an endless stash of vintage fabrics, they had so much fun together and completed their bags with the perfect buttons.
Schedule a lesson with a friend, make the same project and the lesson rate is only $35 each for two hours.
There are still a few openings in the Sashiko playdate scheduled for Tuesday, March 31st. Call the store to reserve your place. You’ll learn the Sashiko technique of hand sewing, all supplies are included-and we’ll finish the purse construction for you.
This fabric just arrived, Fairy Tip Toes from Tina Givens . I just couldn’t wait to make something, and this quilted cosmetic bag worked up in a flash!
This is a great easy peasy project for beginner sewers, learn channel quilting, inserting a zipper and you have a fun bag that is an excellent gift, too…and isn’t Mother’s day coming up????
I call them playdates instead of workshops because we play and have so much fun learning, it doesn’t seem right to associate the word “work” with all that fun!
