About this Event
This in-person workshop offers a unique opportunity to unleash your creativity and craft beautiful textile pieces in a stimulating and supportive group setting.
The instructor demonstrates with examples of her work the basic cutting and sewing techniques involved: using a rotary cutter or scissors option, single needle or serger, reacting to fabrics and color combos. Ironing is key, sewing a smaller piece first and then building on it, etc.
There will also be group discussions. Attendees will engage in show & tells and get feedback and appreciation of the work.
BEAUTIFUL, UNUSUAL FABRICS, gorgeous colors and textures inspire improvisation, easy experimetation, reacting to color combinations, opening to new ideas.
About the instructor: For the last 40+ years I've been CEO/owner of Peggy Lutz Plus, creating fine designer clothing for women sizes 14 - 34. With our unique sizing system and our own digital patterns, we established an atelier first in San Francisco and then in Sonoma County. Over the years we've created special occasion ensembles for women all over the world, in person and online.
Wearable Art has been an important element of our success, and in recent years, my personal specialty. See our current catalogue at www.plus-size.com.
Notes: Attendees should bring their own sewing machine/serger, scissors or rotary cutter and mat, needles, threads, sewing machine tools, magnifying glasses if needed. You should be competent on your own sewing machine, which should be in working order.
