Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Class Date: Wednesday, October 21 - 6:30pm-9pm
As our gift to you - our amazing, loyal customers - we're offering fun, freebie class this Fall season! These classes will help you get in the holiday spirit and create some amazing decor or handmade gifts for your loved ones!
This class will be set up demo-style: we’ll demonstrate how to make three different styles of handmade cloth napkins, then you can decide which style you’d like to make and spend the rest of the class time working on your napkins. Students will learn how to make mitered corners – a skill that can be used on lots of different projects.
Napkin Views:
- Napkin A: a super simple, reversible napkin that's made from two coordinating prints
- Napkin B: a classic mitered-corner style made from only fabric; best suited for yardn dyed woven or linen fabrics
- Napkin C: combines the details of View A + B, but uses two coordinating prints and features mitered corners (but is constructed different from Napkin B so you'll learn a new technique!
