Join Upcycle Creative Reuse Center on Sunday August 30th for a fun new workshop – improv quilting with scraps! Improv quilting refers to quilting without a set plan, using the materials at hand. It’s a great practice for releasing perfectionism and giving yourself permission to play, all while using up your scraps! All the leftover bits from that beautiful fabric that you can’t let go of (but don’t know what to do with) can find a place in a new project. Improv quilting is also a wonderful low-stakes entry into the world of quilting. If you’ve always been curious about quilting but felt intimidated by all the complex shapes and measurements, and you love creative reuse, this workshop is for you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Prerequisite: basic familiarity with a sewing machine. All materials, tools, and machines are provided by UpCycle, but you are more than welcome to bring some of your own scraps you’ve been meaning to use up, and\/or your own sewing machine if you’re more comfortable using that. (Note: if you are bringing your own machine, please reach out to let Upcycle CRC know ahead of time)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
