Whitney Dirks
Are your scrap piles overflowing their containers? Do you stockpile fat quarters and remnants? Those bits and pieces are perfect for jazzing up clothing and creating textile collages! In this class, you’ll learn various approaches to holding scraps in place and stitching everything down, while practicing how to think about design, pattern, and color. You’ll walk away with a work-in-process and extra supplies to finish the piece at home!
A $5 materials fee is due to the instructor at the start of class and covers all supplies needed for this class.
