"Snippets" Trash to Treasure Trove - You'll create unique, one of a kind fabrics using bits and pieces of leftover or recycled fabrics, trims and fibers in this class. Learn how to "mix it up" to create interest and texture while producing a useable, sturdy surface suitable to a myriad of future projects. Experiment with planned randomness, exotic combinations, and sophisticated to homespun color ways. Playful experimentation is encouraged and applauded!  Warning: Making "Snippets" is delightfully addictive! You may never throw away another scrap of fabric again. You will leave with a completed piece of yardage and ideas for using your new fabric in various projects.

Etui (French Sewing Box) -This project is based on an antique French six-sided sewing box. When the lid is removed and the cord untied, the sides fold down to reveal a pincushion, pockets for sewing supplies, memorabilia and artwork. You will use fabric to cover the base material and lid and learn techniques for adding personal embellishments, stitchery and beading. We will have several samples on hand to illustrate different themes and styles. 
(Pattern included.)
