Let's Start at the Beginning... Workshop 1 Strip Piecing
In this workshop, you will learn how to cut straight strips and sew them together on a foundation fabric to create your choice of a notebook cover or placemat. Directions will be given so that you can make any size cover for a notebook or book. It’s a good time to use up extra batting and dig into your stash or try out that new color combination of fabrics that you have seen in the shop. It is a quick gift idea that delights everyone!
