We have a wonderful array of workshops available from which to choose, as well as the opportunity to come work on our own unfinished projects. There is no charge for any of the classes but there may be class size and space limits and some pre-class preparation and information so please contact Te Pabon to register.

Linda Armour: Tube (Disappearing) Scarf

Pat Clark: Dimensional Flowers



3-Dimensional Flowers (Pat Clark): You will be able to make several flowers at the workshop, but some easy pre-sewing will be needed since creating the starting piece is the only time consuming part.

Make each of the following 6 shapes. Sew pieces right sides together with a scant . “ seam allowance leaving an opening for turning. Turn right side out, making good points/edges. Stitch opening closed and then press. Suggest florals, prints, solids – use a variety of your scraps for the flowers but when sewing use different fabrics for the pairs so you can distinguish front from back. The measurements below do not need to be exactly precise.
– One square (two pieces cut at 4” square)
– Two sets of circles (four pieces cut 3 . circles)
– One circle (two pieces cut at 4” circles)
– Two sets of equilateral triangles (four triangles cut with each side 5 1/4” using 60 degree angles)

Other supplies: Cut, but do not sew, 1 circle at 4” and from a different fabric another circle at 2”.
Sewing needle, scissors, coordinating thread, a couple straight pins, pencil. Optional if you use them:  thimble, needle threader.
