We will cover things like:
🦋Letting go of over thinking
🌈How to create color stories
🌳How to use the natural shapes of scraps
💪Sewing and press proper seams for patchwork
Prerequisite:
🤸♀️ This class requires recent sewing machine experience — this is not a learn-to-sew class. Students who have taken [Sewing 101] or a private lessons with me tend to be the most prepared, as my teaching style builds the strong foundation for all other classes. That said, if you feel confident, you know yourself best! This note is simply here to make sure you're set up to enjoy every minute — not spend it catching up or unlearning old habits. If you're not sure if you meet the prerequisite - reach out I’d love to chat this over with you!
