You and your sewing machine can create an original patchwork with no pattern! Improv piecing is fun free-form play with colors and shapes, and it’s perfect for beginners. You will learn the useful basics of improv piecing, with squares, rectangles, triangles, curves, and random shapes.
Improv piecing is like working a puzzle with an unexpected outcome. It's really fun to let go, get in the flow, and see where creativity leads you. You can use random scraps or choose a color pallet. The patchwork you create can then be incorporated into a variety of different sewing projects, like a quilt or mini quilt, pillow, zipper pouch, tote bag, or added to garments.
This 3 hour workshop is $60, bring your own materials, or purchase some in the shop- we have lots to choose from!
Use scraps, fat quarters or yardage. You will want the equivalent of about a half yard of quilting cotton. If using Fat Quarters, grab 4 or 5. You can choose a specific color palette, or pull random colors and prints- anything goes!
Tools: Sewing Machine, basic sewing supplies, scissors and/or rotary cutter, acrylic ruler cutting mat, small iron and pressing mat, if you have them. Starch is also good to have when sewing patchwork. We have all these necessary tools & machines to share, so really you could show up with nothing but your sweet self.
It is best to have attended our Beginning Sewing Class, or have equivalent experience - basically just need to know a little about using a machine. But! This project could also be sewn by hand, if thats your thing!
Ages: Adults & teens 13 & up
