We will learn techniques such as sewing a zipper with two methods and making a buttonhole with your machine. We will study reading a pattern and how to cut your fabric according to your measurements, as well as using blind hems to finish a garment. Projects include a lined pouch, a tote bag, and a pair of shorts or pants. Class Fee: $170.00 Instructor: Amy Jones Students need to bring their own sewing machines in good working order.

Pieces and Wholeness Sun, Sep 14, 2025 10:30am - 4:30pm

Description We are all merely pieces. Join us for an all day class that will be equal parts creative and introspective and improvisational. We will spend the day exploring the technique (whether you call it crazy, scrap or crumb quilting) and producing several pieces of created fabric (and maybe a bit of insight). We will spend time designing how those created pieces of fabric might fit into a whole…or not. Rebecca will share multiple samples of how the crazy quilted components have been added into her finished pieces. This day-long class will provide ample time to learn and practice the technique as well as time to incorporate your new knowledge and work into a finished design of your own. While you may not leave with a finished product, I’m hopeful that you will have a glimpse of wholeness.
