I Love My Fabric Party!
Knox Makers - Fiber Arts 116 Childress St SW, Knoxville, TN, United StatesFiber Arts has a considerable amount of fabric just shoved into numerous tubs. This is an afternoon devoted to fabric folding. The end goal is to have something that not only looks neat and tidy but anyone can easily see what is available. So if you love to fondle fabric, join us when you can, stay as long as you can and let’s get folding and sorting.
Smocking
Knox Makers - Fiber Arts 116 Childress St SW, Knoxville, TN, United StatesSmocking is an embroidery technique that functionally binds and decoratively embelishes pleats. This gathering of the fabric can be functional shaping or purely decorative.
In the class, we will be making 3.5" heart-shaped sachets. They can be plain stuffed pillows or filled with a mixture of polyfil and potpouri as scent sachets. We will discuss various methods of pleating the fabric in preparation for the embroidery, but the class will focus on the stitching techniques and tips for finishing. Due to time constraints, the fabric will be pre-gathered.
*This is a pilot class so it's half price. Future classes will be full price.
