Becoming Elli

Come sew a creative and functional bowl using cotton clothesline wrapped with quilting fabric scraps. You can bust your stash (even the smallest of scraps will work!) or use scrap strips, a single fabric cut into strips, or strips from a jelly roll. Your bowl can be made in nearly any size or shape, and you can use leftover clothesline for coasters or trivets.

Class instruction includes demonstrations, samples and loads of hands-on help. We will take regular breaks. Bring yourself (and maybe a friend!), all the items listed in the What to Bring section below, and your sewing juju.
