New to sewing and want to take your first steps toward quilting? Join instructor Kim Bigard for a bite sized quilting project making mini quilts, which can be utilized as placemats, potholders or small wall hangings. If you’re new to machine sewing, you’ll practice basic patchwork by working with strips, improv piecing or a simple log cabin pattern. Students will learn how to create a quilt sandwich, layering the quilt top, batting and backing, and finish with binding your quilt. You’ll experiment with color, patterns and textures and by the end, you’ll have a beautiful, functional art piece you can use.
Students with sewing machines may bring them to use, otherwise Art Reach will provide machines. We will also provide assorted fabrics and thread, but students are welcome to bring fabric in their preferred colorways or scraps to share with the class. No experience is necessary; you will learn all the basics, from threading a machine to decorative top-stitching.
This workshop will be held from 1-4 pm on Saturday, November 7, in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant.
Recommended age: 12 and up
