Tips and Tricks BEFORE class!
Wash your shirts…especially if they have been sitting in storage a long time!
Bring at LEAST 5 shirts to learn the technique. More is better. We will have plenty of time to build a quilt!
Bring your “questionable” shirts. Weird material (Denim, polyester, screenprinting, mesh, etc)? Weird layout? Too big? Too small? Has pockets, buttons, zippers, etc? Bring it in and we can brainstorm how to make it work for your quilt! CHALLENGE ME! 😊
Bring something you can put your freshly cut and interfaced shirts in and they can lay flat. I use a large Rubbermaid art tote.
Don’t “pre cut” your shirts! I want to show you how valuable the ENTIRE shirt is in making your quilt!
Bring a couple of grocery sacks for your scraps.
Our next sew-in for the year will be held Friday, October 25th
from 1pm to 7pm at Eileen Burnley's house.
Please join us--it's always fun. Even if you can only spend an hour or two, it really helps.
