BARN SQUARE PAINTING! By Cindy Strickland! 

Cindy recently moved from South Carolina and would like to teach BARN Square painting in our store!
 I have been teaching, designing, and painting barn quilts for the past five years. The class is a  2 day class. (10-4 the first day and 10-2 the second day) I provide all materials which includes:  2‘ x 2‘ professional grade sign-board that is primed,  high-quality exterior paints, brushes, rulers, and other supplies needed for each participant. Each participant will learn the history of Barn Quilts and how to design, graph, and paint their own barn quilt. I have over 30 designs they can choose from and probably 40 or 50 paint colors. Each person will leave the class on the second day with a 2 x 2 barn quilt ready to hang outside.

I charge $110 per person. I also  buy a gift certificate from the quilt store to give as a door prize! 

BAG CLASSES

 By Annie Adventure Piecekeeper bag
Instructor  Brenda Brown   Fee : No charge!
Description: Store and carry all your project pieces or supplies in this handy zippered bag with attached handle. Fabric quilted to Soft and Stable makes a sturdy base and the mesh front affords great visibility of contents plus a bit of added stretchiness. 
Use one 13” x 18" rectangle of Soft and Stable and three fat quarters in coordinating prints/colors plus a bit of mesh, interfacing, and a zipper to make this handy bag. 
The finished bag measures 11"H x 16"W.

The Piecekeeper pattern is a perfect way to learn many of the basic techniques used to make ByAnnie patterns. A good class to take prior to trying other BYAnnie bags...   
As you make this useful bag, you will learn how to:
  • Quilt fabric with Soft and Stable
  • Use our Lightweight Mesh Fabric and make zippered pockets with mesh.
  • Prepare simple handles using interfacing
  • Bind raw edges on flat projects and go around curves (including tips for going around corners, joining ends, and finishing binding)
On the ByAnnie website  to help you master those skills, they have not only made the pattern available to you free*, but  have also filmed an Add-On Video for this project to give you a real classroom experience.

Upcycled Jeans Backpack

Description:SeabagUpcycling project with old jeans.
Each of us has a pair(s) of old jeans in the wardrobe that we would never wear again. Instead of just throwing them away, we have a much better suggestion - why not sew a casual duffel bag out of them? Jeans fabric is not only versatile, but also durable, robust and always modern! Besides, with this upcycling project you are also doing something good for the environment.
This class is an overview of the process for deconstructing your jeans and then the construction of the duffel bag.  The pattern is free to download, or we can provide color copies for $8 (this  just covers the cost of copying) 
If you want to prepurchase your copy (or ask for download), and come to class with your jeans deconstructed, class time can be used for bag construction. 
Teacher Patty Fee $20

GARMENT CLASSES


Measuring for garment construction 
Description: Commercial patterns are sized based on measurements, which means that they frequently have very little to do with 'off the rack' clothing sizes. In this two-hour class, learn how to take a full set of body measurements so you can choose your size correctly when sewing yourself some clothing! We will take and record our measurements and look at a few patterns and learn how to understand the chart on the back to choose the correct size. 
INSTRUCTOR PEYTON KNEICE
 CLASS FEE $35 INCLUDES YOUR OWN PERSONAL MEASUREMENT TAPE! ​
CLASS  MCCALLS PATTERN 7751 MISSES SHIRTS    This would be the first class in a series of classes that make one garment each and end you up with a capsule wardrobe at the end of the series (pants, blouse, jacket, skirt, dress). This is mostly because all these things use measurements in slightly different ways to tweak them to your body.  ​These would be easy garments with a forgiving fit that can be made with stable woven fabrics that can be purchased at the store. 
Estimating 4 classes to finish the garment. Class fee to be determined
