Join us for an informal introduction to sewing!
In this pop-up we will introduce you to
one of the most widely used stitches in sewing, the running stitch.
This simple straight stitch can be used to create anything from a pillow
to a mask. We’ll introduce you to some basic sewing tools, show you how
to sew a running stitch by hand, and with a machine and suggest
projects ideas.
What you will need: Needle, thread, scissors, tape measure or ruler, and ½-1+ yard of
fabric depending on what project you choose. Small throw pillows and
masks can be made with under a yard of fabric. Tight weave cotton is
best for masks. Cotton or cotton blends or polyester blends will work
well for pillows. Here are a few local businesses you can support if you need supplies:
Mendel’s,
Piedmont Fabrics,
Cliff’s.
