Sewing Level II: Quilted Zipper Pouch | Part Two
With Anisha Deshmane
$250 - Two Part Series: September 15th + 22nd
This workshop teaches a sampler of sewing skills including sewing, pressing, quilting, zipper installation, and basic bag construction. Students will transform pieces of fabric into their very own fully lined zipper pouch featuring a colorful quilted log cabin block design.
The first session is all about quilting, where students will use the sewing machine, rulers, and rotary cutter to practice piecing, keeping their quilting block square, and quilting the block to soft batting.
In the second session, students will learn bag construction techniques, using their quilted blocks to attach a zipper, add lining, and square off corners, to create a fully lined zipper pouch with no exposed seams.
Great for confident beginners, this class is more about construction techniques than the sewing machine itself. All materials will be provided, fabric selection may differ from sample photos.
