Workshops

Over the years I have been asked.. “What do I sew with the fabric I just made?”

So.. I have been busy creating a new block printing workshop based on that very question! At the end of September I will be launching a new online workshop. In this fun workshop we will design fabric together that you can later sew into a pouch. I designed the pouch with block printing in mind. It has mix and match options, something that I really love when sewing a project. The workshop is on zoom, but live! Fun, right? Here are the details:

Workshop Details:

  • Workshop Includes New Dash Pouch Pattern
  • Details: Using my simple shapes method and workbook, we will design two stamps and then print a fat quarter with those two stamps. In the class, I will teach how to develop a stamp using my simple shapes method. We will use a workbook. Using simple shapes is a great way to block print b/c it takes away the “what should I design”. It is fun, easy and creates simple, yet complex patterns. In the second half of the workshop, I will then share details on how to print the fat quarter and then cut the pattern pieces. The pouch pattern is included with the class and comes with professional step by step instructions on how to sew the pouch in your one of a kind fabric. You sew the pouch after the class. I will not be teaching “how to sew the pouch” in this class.
  • Included: Block Printing Workbook and “Dash” Digital PDF Pattern. Note – The digital pattern includes step by step instructions and pattern templates.
  • No recording: Class will not be recorded. Participants must show up via zoom and attend the class. Camera does not need to be turned on.

This class is for the adventurous beginner. A few more details:

  • No sewing is taught during this online class.
  • Some sewing experience is needed for sewing the pattern. You must also know the basics and how to read pattern instructions. The digital pattern is provided with the class and the pouch is to be sewn sewn after the class.
  • Blocking printing basics will be taught in the class – How to use your materials, how to design & carve the blocks and then print fabric ( Fun! )
  • How to layout your design on the fat quarter will be taught.
  • Fabric Ink will need to dry before sewing the pouch ( at least 48 hours is recommeneded). Dry time depends many factors.
