Description: Pick your own project and push your creative limits with the assistance of a fabulous sewer and crafter! This four-week class is organized in a workshop model for beginners and new sewers. Participants can select their own patterns and fabrics (should be graded “easy” or “beginner”). The instructor will work with you to help you understand and follow pattern instructions, cut out patterns and make minor pattern alterations for a better fit. In addition you will encouraged to be creative and make a very unique garment.
Instructor: Katharine “Moo” Bishop taught herself to sew at age 18, beginning with an orange corduroy jacket. Even though it was a complete disaster she had so much fun! Over the years Moo honed her skills and after her kids were born she designed and sewed children's clothing under the name Milo and Mira. As the kids grew Moo moved onto vests, dresses, and bags and now spend hours at her treasured sewing machine creating various objets d'art, some to wear and some just to look at. For Moo sewing is a meditative exercise both soothing in its technique, and satisfying in its result.
