Dec 7th Flutter Sleeve Top: Bring in an old top or t-shirt and we'll help you transform it into a romantic, flutter sleeve top! No sewing experience required, we will have extra fabrics on hand such as lace and denim to transform your old top into something amazing.
Dec 14th Patchwork Denim: This is a big trend right now so come ready with an old pair of denim pants or even a jacket! Jordan will assist you in re-working your denim with gorgeous patchwork to compliment your personal style. Beginners welcome.
All proceeds from our patchwork class will go to FABSCRAP, a non-profit organization that diverts fashion industry fabric waste from the landfill to sewists, crafters, classrooms and other end users. In fact, our patch fabric, lace and denim are all "leftovers" from fashion designers and brands, via FABSCRAP! Shop for yourself here.
Dec 21st Lace T-shirt: any old t-shirt can be made fabulous with simple lace inserts. Add some to the back for peek-a-boo style, add romantic flutter sleeves, or create a peplum top for Daten night. We'll provide the lace. No sewing experience required!
