Pietra Pants
New Class! Pietra Pants is a great beginner level pants workshop. Since there is no closure, just an elastic backed waistband, you’ll get the experience of making one of four versions of this Closet Core pattern without needing to sew a zipper or fly front. There’s nothing to fear but flattering pants in this new workshop.
Wool Felt
Wool Felt has been our number one most requested fabric over the years and this week we received our first delivery of fifteen beautiful colours that are available in pre-cut fat quarters, off the bolt or in a fluffy bundle of the whole set.
Ruby Star Society
Ruby Star Society is here and it's glorious! We had such fun unpacking the first collections from this new company that features some of our favourite designers - Melody Miller, Rashida Coleman-Hale, Sarah Watts, and Kimberly Kight. The first six collections - Spark, Pop, Anagram, Social, Grid, and Zip are here in the shop and we sold out of our first print within hours!
Drawstring Bags
New Class! Johanna's new Drawstring Bags workshop is something we all need - an alternative to single use plastic bags. You’ll learn two clever methods for making them, including a quick two-for-one version and another version that has a double drawstring for extra security. No pattern needed, you can make these in any size! Think shoe bags, wine bottles, toys, knitting, crafts and gift wrap.
Sherri Lynn Wood
We had to share the wonderful work from last week's Sherri Lynn Wood workshops! We've posted all the images we captured on Flicker in the following albums - Improv Round Robin, Colour String Theory, Improv Mash Up and Get Your Bias Strip Curve On. We learned so much from Sherri and from each other in these fun classes and it shows in the results each person created.
Upholstered Bench
New Class! We are so excited about Erin’s new Upholstered Bench workshop! This class is a step up if you’ve taken a previous upholstery class like Box Cushion or Upholstered Cube. Erin will guide you through the steps of making your own stunning Upholstered Bench with custom fabric covered buttons and piping. Total class cost includes a kit for the bench frame, legs, and foam. Just add your favourite fabric to create this beautiful piece of furniture.
Hand Pieced Hunter’s Star Quilt
New Class! Who's ready for Carolanne's newest hand stitched creation?! We are blown away by her new Hand Pieced Hunter’s Star Quilt. The design is wonderfully bold, so we can already imagine all the wonderful interpretations you’re going to make of this quilt! It is currently hanging in the back studio and we highly recommend that you pop back there to see the subtle colour variation in person.
Indigo Printing
Indigo Printing combines block printing and stencil work with one of our favourite natural dyes, Indigo. The range of results we’ve seen from this new workshop is truly inspiring. Check out some of the images from our last couple sessions here!
Not only can you take this workshop with Julie Sinden, but you can also grab a kit by The Love of Colour to DIY at home.
