I am super excited to announce a brand new monthly class in Studio CRESCENDOh titled:
Project Home Ec
Make • Mend • Alter
Project Home Ec will meet approximately once a month in Studio CRESCENDOh. It will be a place to make, mend, alter, and gain ideas for creatively making do. It's a place where you can bring:
- the jeans that need mending
- the quilt that needs finishing
- the garment that needs altering
- the knitted scarf that needs to be cast off
- and the linen that needs to be embroidered ... and more.
For each session, Project Home Ec will configure the studio with tables, sewing machines, notions to share, stash fabrics and yarns to share, and expertise aplenty to help you start and finish projects in the spirit of Home Economics.
Regularly on hand in the studio will be Cynthia Shaffer, Tracy Schultz, and Jenny Doh ... available to support projects related to sewing, quilting, fiber arts, altered arts, and needle arts. In other words ... all the great stuff that used to be taught in Home Economics classes.
You can come and just work on your own projects or participate in a special project led by either Tracy or Cynthia or Jenny ... like ...
- how to sew on a button
- how to hem pans
- how to free motion quilt
- how to cast on and cast off for knitting
- how to make a double crochet
- how to read a sewing pattern
- how to make a French knot
- how to bind off a quilt
- how to add a denim collar to a dress ... and the list goes on ...
Project Home Ec will also coordinate special and fun activities like Pre-Owned Accessories Trades, and other artist-driven projects.
Everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.
The first Project Home Ec takes place Sunday, February 26th.
See you in the studio. :)
Fun, fun, fun!
