Valentine's Special! Let's Make a Mug Rug! Sat. Feb. 14th, 10am-12:00pm
Hi all! As I slowly ease back into teaching, I thought it would be fun to do some little one-off crafty workshops! First up is a Valentine’s Day Mug Rug! It’s a bit last-minute, but let’s see what happens haha! :D
What is a mug rug you might ask? It’s basically just a big coaster! Perfect for a couple of mugs to rest upon! <3
We’ll cut and sew a small quilt square, quilt it, and finish it, creating a super cute valentine’s themed mug rug for you or a loved one! Bring a friend or treat yourself and come spend the morning sewing!
This workshop is open to beginner level and up! There will be modifications for beginner sewists and for those who would like more of a challenge! The project involves both machine and hand sewing. If you have any questions or concerns about level, just email me at sophie@littlebirdsewing.com
Materials needed:
Please bring some fabric of your choosing! You need two colors/prints - one will be the heart, and one will be the background. You also need something for the back of the mug rug, but you can use the same fabric as the background if you want! Or mix and match! You only need small pieces - the finished product is approximately 6”x6” - the largest piece you need is for the back of the mug rug, so just make sure to have one piece of fabric that measures at least 8”x8”. We will also have scrap fabric at the studio that you can use! Batting and thread will be provided!
**Ideas for fabric: Use scraps, up-cycle old clothing, napkins, or tablecloths, get some fun pieces from the Makery, get some new pieces from Yankee Pride or Stash! So many fun options! Just make sure the fabric isn’t too heavyweight, and doesn’t have any stretch! (Quilting cotton, or something of similar weight is best!)
All tools and machines are also provided, so just bring some fabric and yourself! Again, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! :)
This class is for students 16yrs and older. Beginners welcome! We will have the sewing machines all set up and ready to go, so you don’t need to worry about set-up! This is meant to be a super chill, fun little class - no pressure!
Class will be at Little Bird Sewing Studio x Stash Fabric at 266 Pine St. (The Soda Plant), Studio no. 107 (located on the first floor, next to Pitchfork Pickle and below the Dad Guild).
Class is on February 14th, 10am - 12noon.
If you need to cancel, please do so at least 72hrs in advance so that we can hopefully fill your spot. If you have to cancel for an emergency or illness with less than 72hr notice, we will do our utmost to reschedule you into another class, and otherwise a full refund will be issued. No refunds will be given for no-shows. Thank you for your understanding!
