Are you a novice sewer? Do you need a refresher on machine sewing?
Then it is time to whip up a simple denim patchwork pillow and get comfortable on a sewing machine.
During this 4 hour workshop, Jennifer Triemstra-Johnston will introduce/remind you about basic sewing practices while you design, cut and sew your very own denim patchwork pillow.
Since it is family day weekend, grab a relative, kid or friend and make it a shared experience. We are offering a buy one get one for $15 off special for bookings of two.
Haven’t sewn for a while? The this is the perfect project to get you going again.
