Sew What? is excited to announce its’ summer class schedule. All classes have color photos on the website, so check them out!
MerrieJann Miller joins our group of talented teachers and will be teaching a new class, Selvage Quilts. This unique technique will show you how to use your selvage instead of tossing them away and it is totally green friendly.
For the first time in ages we are offering the Professional/Computer tote bag with Mary Margaret Symanski. This looks to be a very interesting class for all you intermediate quilters. This versatile bag is one that everyone wants!
Rose Corsage with Diana Brock should be a class anyone can enjoy, even non sewers. It’s a dimensional project, a flower that never wilts!
Sewing machines are required for all classes, unless otherwise noted. Please make sure your machine is in good working order with all plugs, cords, feet, and needles necessary. Coming to class with pre-wound bobbins is always a good idea. A few of our classes have a need list and there may be a bit of “pre-sewing” before class begins.

No— not a wrap to eat, but one to have fun making. Create a bowl, purse, basket, 
or a hot pad. The first step is to learn how! Fabric strips are wrapped around a cord then sewn together to create different shapes. Use the wrapping and coiling technique to create any of the above mentioned projects. All supplies, including the book
It’s a Wrap by Susan Breier, are available at Sew What?

A beautiful 3-dimensional rose made the Petal Play way can be worn or used as an

Beginner and advanced quilters will find this quilt addictive! Easy to make, the result is
dramatic. The trick is in the choice of fabric. The focal fabric works best when it is loud and obnoxious. The cutting can be nerve-racking, so join us for this class and we will hold your hand. Layer the repeats, cut triangle shaped pieces from the same part of the repeat, and create a kaleidoscope effect that is irresistible! Think ‘out of the box’ and challenge yourself to buy the most obnoxious fabric available…who can resist a challenge like that??

This unique bag is made from stuffed fabric strips. Using cotton batting or cotton flannel

Why make a selvage quilt? These quilts are fun, creative and you can enjoy your stash
without using it up! Even if you’ve been quilting for a short time you’ve probably have a nice stash started and that means you have selvages too. This is for beginners and experts alike. It’s so much fun to remember different lines and eras of fabrics.

This quilt is paper pieced, and is nowhere near as hard as it looks. The model is 
made at 50% of normal size but don’t let that scare you. There are full size blocks available for those not bitten by the “miniature” bug and you can certainly make the whole project in the larger size. The wonderful thing about paper piecing is the accuracy, so even complicated looking patterns like this one are easily attainable by all.
