Workshop will be on Wednesday, October 2nd, 10am-4pm
You must sign up and pay in advance at our September Meeting for the October workshop. Cash or Check Only. (We have a new policy of no refunds, but you can sell your spot to another attendee.)
We heard you and we’re having Julie Bizzoso instruct us on making the circular flags we all fell in love with last guild year. She has adapted the original Old Glory Design to using seasonal and holiday design fabrics as seen in the attached photos.
We are limited to 25 attendees. The cost is $30 for the necessary homework assignment directions including supply list (You receive this when you sign up and pay.), pattern (You receive this at the beginning of the workshop.), and full day instruction. If you wish to buy the necessary 10-degree wedge ruler, we have a limited supply at $10 or check your stash and see if you already have this ruler. If you miss out ordering these when signing up, you may have to borrow from someone in the class who is busily trying to use it. Several online suppliers have them for $20+. We are continuing to try to get these at our price but the supplier is currently out of stock on this item. Check with us before you order if you miss out at time of registration. We may have been able to get them by then.
The homework instructions you will get when you register for the class state that you will need three fabrics that have a contrast to one another, 1/2 yd. of each; Sewing supplies required: Sewing machine in good working order and items needed to sew (thread, rotary cutter & mat, snips, etc.) For class you will need the same supplies. We will have a pressing station with irons set up for all. (When finishing your flag later you will need 1 & 1/4 yd. for binding and backing; batting to fit.) As with all full day classes, you probably should bring your lunch with you that morning. This is a very precise instruction-oriented activity and you wouldn’t want to miss a step.
All proceeds from the workshop go to the guild.
