We are so excited that the students from Mackenzie Middle School will have the chance to visit the shop again this year! They get the chance to learn about the different machines we use and sew their own little project. The students will be in and out all day, so you might see them when you visit us today.
After the successful class for beginners, we decided to add more paper piecing classes. We plan to use the 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars Book by Carol Doak to pick and choose different stars to work on over the next few months. We will work on one or two blocks each month and see where it goes. Our second star is the Montana Star! The cost of the class is $25 for the first class and $15 for any additional classes. You will need to bring your sewing machine, standard sewing supplies, cutting mat, straight ruler or Add-A-Quarter Ruler, rotary cutter, and 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars Book. The Sewing Studio will provide copies of the block on paper-piecing paper, and an iron and ironing mat for each participant. It is suggested that you purchase a Layer Cake of fabric and 2 yards of background fabric to create your blocks. Call the shop at (806)792-3863 to reserve your spot!
