WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY CLASSES
Sizes XS to 3XL. Vintage-inspired clothing has been thrust into the forefront of fashion! We see lacey camisoles layered under blouses and jackets for day, worn as tops for chic evening style or paired with lounging pants for sleeping. Imagine flipping through a magazine, falling in love with the perfect heirloom confection and whipping it up in the same day! There has never been a better time to take advantage of what a serger can offer. With these quick and easy serger techniques combined with 100% cotton batiste, French lace, Victorian embroidered insertions, beading, and silk-satin ribbon, you will create an Heirloom Camisole to enjoy for years. Your serger can give you the hottest looks in a flash for a fraction of what designers demand.
Turn your fashionable heirloom camisole into a sleep or lounging set by adding these quick-to-serge coordinating pants.
Return home with a treasure for your decor after you finish stitching this flanged pillow sham---and the new Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond sewing machine is going to do much of the work! Custom designed for this event, the silk dupioni sham has outline embroidery that is stitched in the brand new Majestic hoop while the new candlewicking foot and built-in candlewicking stitches are used to enhance the embroidery. An added feature to the embroidery is that the outlines for your lace shaping templates are sewn while the machine is embroidering! Come enjoy sewing on a jewel of a machine as you create a gift for your home or someone on your holiday gift list.
This classically-styled linen blend purse in a striking black and ecru color scheme is made even more dramatic by the eye-catching use of plaid silk dupioni. Lace peeks from behind cathedral windows on the flap that is also embellished with Vintage Decorative Stitches and edged with piping. A small silk satin ribbon bow accents the flap's button closure. Any occasion becomes special when you have this purse to carry on your arm.
Finding your glasses in the Special Occasion Purse won't be quite as much of a chore when you keep them in this coordinating case. Quick embroidery added to the flap will give you a designer accessory in almost no time at all!
This is not your ordinary pincushion in shape or design and the sewing machine does most of the work! You will begin with a pleated insert and add a design to it by smocking in the hoop on your machine. When the embroidery is completed, you add the back, turn it inside out and add stuffing for "poof." Voila! You have a quick unique gift for sewing friends or add a ribbon loop for a Christmas ornament.
Heartfelt sentiments and special photos are all wrapped up in ribbons and bows in this travel-size memory keeper. Linen blend fabric and grosgrain ribbon create a background and frame for the center vinyl pocket that will hold your photos or small keepsakes. You'll be embroidering a message on the ribbon and using a machine feather stitch to attach the vinyl pocket. Perfect for showers, graduations or milestone birthdays, this pillow is one you'll be making for many memories to come.
Unbelievable! Create a baby outfit in a jiffy? No way! Yes, way quick and easy, and all done with your serger. A lusciously soft Martha Pullen knit is combined with its dyed-to-match ribbing fabric to make the perfect outfit for your baby. Learn the tricks for serging knits and watch your project take shape before your eyes.
Martha will present a seminar on how to start a sewing business. Actually, this seminar is about starting and growing any business and Martha will share how women and men all over the world earn money, with a home based business, using their sewing machines and sergers.
"Little French Bonnet" is loved the world over and is one of our very favorite classes to teach. This sweet bonnet is the perfect project for those who have never done any heirloom sewing, those who need a refresher course, those who can't wait until Wednesday to sew or those who need a precious baby gift. The techniques used to create the bonnet are basics, but each one is necessary for all heirloom sewing projects. Tips, tricks and techniques for attaching Swiss batiste, French lace, Swiss embroidered insertion, entredeux and silk-satin ribbon as well as gathering and attaching a ruffle are all demonstrated in this little baby bonnet. If you don't have anything to do on Tuesday night, come sew with us. We promise a fun time and a completed bonnet.
