Great news!  Amy Dame is coming to our Sew-In on November 16!  And she’s doing her Improv Bulls Eye Pillow workshop!  If you are coming to the sew-in, Amy’s workshop is included (remember – the sew-in fee is $20).  Woo hoo!

Amy describes her Improv Bulls Eye Pillow workshop this way:

“In this class I’ll help you get comfortable sewing improv curves and we’ll talk about finding your favourite techniques for exploring improv patchwork. We’ll discuss different construction options for cushions or throw pillows and I’ll teach you my preferences, which result in a sturdy, washable, usable pillow covering. You’ll learn how to install a zipper, piece, quilt and assemble a pillow and you’ll leave with an almost finished project. I’ll bring some examples, and we’ll look at different ways to use a ¼ circle, so once you’ve fallen in love with the technique, you’ll have tons of ideas for more projects!”  If you were lucky enough to take Amy’s workshop at the Portland Meet-up, Amy says you can bring your top and make it into a pillow.  Get the supply list HERE.
