What’s happening at Church of Craft this weekend…

Hi all! It’s the last Saturday of the month already… as Spring gets closer we bet you’ll want to be starting that warm weather wardrobe! Church of Craft will meet on Saturday and we’ll be talking about measurements and choosing the right pattern.

Megan will take you through the basic measurements you’ll need to purchase a commercial pattern as well as the measurements you can check once you get your pattern home to make sure that you’re hardwork results in something you’ll actually wear! Feel free to bring your fit questions and we’ll talk!

This won’t be organized as a class, but more of an open forum for you to ask questions and get advice about commercial patterns and measurements. Guys… don’t be shy… this won’t be strictly for the girls.

As always, Church of Craft is a free social event held at Stitch Cleveland on the last Saturday of each month from 1 – 4pm. We want you to bring your latest projects to show off or get advice! No registration or RSVPs needed… just be there!

Patternmaking Must-Haves…

I think I heard your sewing room calling for a new gadget. Check out some of the new ones we got in…

Needle tracing wheels, awls, pattern notchers (all shown here), as well as hip curves, L-squares, french curves, rabbit hole punches, pattern hangers, tape measures (and more!) are available at Stitch Cleveland.

Don’t forget we also offer industry pro dressforms and half size dressforms. Stop in to see our floor samples and decide which one you need.

Free Motion Workshop

Once you try your hand at Free Motion, make this cool bag and get some experience under your belt right away!  This roomy bag features your choice of inside pockets, grommets, circle applique, a nice squared bottom , and we do have a limited supply of this fabric available!  Numbers, small prints, pure & simple words, sweet!  Purchase when you sign up.  This size is great for knitting projects, sewing projects or even a diaper bag!  …and looks awesome in Amy Butler prints, too!

March 27, 10am-2pm.  You’ll want to have some practice with free motion before starting this project, learn at our  demo/try-it class on the 14th,  or call to arrange a one-on-one.  Please register by March 25th.  See ya there!

Check the classes we have planned for March & April, too!

Free Motion Quilting

Try your hand at free motion, yep, get loose and stitch all over everything!  Once you try it you will want to quilt every project you make!  This is a demo/hands on class, so you’ll see a demonstration of the technique and we’ll have several machines set up so you can try your hand at it.  It’ll be lots of fun so be sure not to miss it.  It seems everyone is interested in this technique!  March 14, 1-3:00 pm $15. (please register by March 11)

We’ll be taking sign-ups during the demo for the  workshop  scheduled later in the month where we’ll be making a quilted bag, the sample is almost done! If you’ve ever taken a class with us, you know how much fun it is to spend an afternoon at Stitch.  Friends + sewing = fun at Stitch!

Join our Burdastyle Sewing Club , we’ll be meeting monthly on the 2nd Saturday starting April 3rd.
