Sew & Save ... Sew Creatively ~ page 2

~ Make & Take Projects ~

At this time there are four "Make & Take" projects scheduled. Stop by the Creative Studio on the second floor of the Convention Center. There will be examples to see of each of these projects. All of the supplies and equipment will be available on the tables for the projects on the scheduled day and times.

Thursday - 10 a.m. - Pincushions - Kits will be available to make a wrist band or a table top pincushion with a matching finger ring pincushion. This is a cute little project that will give you a useful sewing souvenir of 2012.

Thursday - 2 p.m. - Coin Ruched Flower Pins - Kits will be available to make a small fabric flower using the old technique of coin ruching. These hand stitched flowers only take a few minutes to construct. Examples of other types of fabric flowers will be shown.

Friday - 10 a.m. - Colored Pencil Quilt Square - A Quilt Square unique to Spokane will
be available. A friend, who is an artist, will be doing a panel on coloring, shading, value, hues, etc. The Quilt Square for this session can be purchased in 61st NSDC Ways & Means for $2 prior to the sessions; the colored pencils and other materials needed for coloring the quilt squares will be available in the Creative Studio.

Saturday - 10 a.m. - Beaded & Braided T-Shirts - You bring the T-shirt and we will provide the pony beads and instructions to make an interesting cuff on the sleeve.
This technique can also be used on the hem of the T-shirt for more fun.

Please bring your own pen or pencil.
