Random Design:  You will ignore all the rules with this method of design, and it can be used for either an art piece or wearable art — Grab that fabric and  cut – sew and cut again — It is fun the see the shapes and colors that come forth.  1 day — 6 hours

GARMENTS: 

Where is my Quilt:  Upcycle is the new word — lets make a one of a kind garment.  Do you have an old quilt, one stuffed in a corner or packed away – something you don’t like?   You will combine old and new fabrics using a pattern of your choice.  Great thing about this method is that when you are done it is quilted.  1 or 2 day –  6 hours each day.

One of a Kind Garment:  You will be using a commercial pattern either for a coat, vest, or jacket (your choice) and will learn to build on a foundation.  You will use piecing, flipping, raw edge and placement to design this garment.  Fusing, beads, surface design, yarn will help you to build a “one of a kind garment”.    1 or 2 day –  6 hours each day.
