Summer Make and Takes

First up, thank you to everyone who came out to the show and stopped by our booth and thank you to those who came out to our shop over the weekend.
There have been several requests for some classes during the summer. So Esther and I came up with 4 different projects to do as make and takes. For each project there will be a morning option and an evening option, all of them will be on a Tuesday. The morning classes will run from 10am until noon and the evening classes will run from 7pm until 9pm. If you register on online be sure to select the time frame you would like.
For all the projects the supplies and patterns needed are included in the price. You can come choose your fabrics from our shop, and we will either set them aside for you until the class, or you can bring them home and take them back on class day.
Because these are free classes, and we are only charging for the supplies we ask that you purchase the fabrics from our shop.

The first class is a 3D Spinner Table Topper. This table topper is a great way to freshen up your table for summer. The pattern is from a Missouri Star Block Book. This class will take place on Tuesday July 9. This one is $22, and the book that is included has an additional 9 precut friendly patterns.

On July 23 we will be making casserole totes. These neat little totes come in 3 sizes, loaf pan size, square 9x9 casserole and the standard 9x13 casserole, and each has a wire frame around the top to keep it sturdy. They are perfect for carrying your casserole in especially too and from potlucks and summer barbecues. These would also make fantastic gifts for those about to get married, and since they don't need to be for casseroles, you could also fill it up with baby items for a new mom, or fresh toiletries for a housewarming gift or a college student headed out for a new season of school. You can sign up to make 1 of the totes, or choose all three and get the supplies for one of each. The two smaller sizes are both $35, the 9x13 is $40 and for all three it is $95. On the online registration page there is several options for the casserole tote, be sure to select the correct size and time that you would like.
There is an option to make your casserole totes wipeable with a product called Odicoat, if you wish to do this you will need to do it ahead of time so it has time to dry. This is not included in the prices listed.

In August we will do two more classes.
The first is on August 6 with Carrie. She has made 10 or so of the Wax and Wool Totes, a pattern by Noodlehead. These tote bags are perfect for throwing everything in and leaving the house. I have two, one that I use for a diaper bag for my son, and the other that I use for going to work, on fieldtrips, or going to appointments. They easily hold a water bottle, notebook, Ipad or eReader, wallet and some snacks. Carrie uses hers as a bookbag for school right now. It would also be a great library bag for the kids. Whatever you choose, it is a fun versatile bag. Cost for this one is $66.

The final make and take of the summer is on August 20. This one is to make silicon pot holders. The pot holders work great to hold hot pots on the counter or table, and there is a little sleeve for your hand so you can grab dishes out of the oven with it as well. $26 is the price for this one.

For all the classes you will need a sewing machine in good working order, fresh needles, thread (most of the projects have some topstitching involved so you may want to get a spool that matches when choosing your fabrics), clips or pins and scissors. We do have Oliso irons, as well as rotary cutters, mats and rulers available to use but if you prefer your own you may bring them along.

You can register for any of the above classes by clicking here.
