Got yards of handwovens but don’t know what to do next? This workshop is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn day one, we will learn how to sew basic seams, do some sewing machine adjustments and use a variety of seam finishes (flat-felled, French seam, Hong Kong finishes and more) using “practice” commercial fabrics. We will cover sewing pattern conventions, layouts for cutting and how to choose a good commercial sewing pattern that works well with handwoven yardage. We will introduce you to finishing on a serger and ways to stabilize handwovens before cutting into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn day two we will practice these techniques on your own handwoven fabrics to create either a tote bag or simple project on which to practice your new skills. Pattern for bag will be provided by instructor and garment patterns will be available for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents should have a sewing machine in good working order for use in the classroom and should bring about a yard of ‘store bought’ woven fabric (cotton or wool) for practice, plus as much of their woven yardage that they might like to work with for the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/redstoneglen.com\/instructors\/judy-gelzinis-donovan\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet Your Instructor-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eJudy Gelzinis Donovan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/redstoneglen.com\/policies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClass Cancellations \u0026amp; Refunds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"Intro to Sewing","offer_id":48508886712574,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1160\/7736\/files\/Screenshot2025-01-23at1.33.55PM.png?v=1737987636","url":"https:\/\/red-stone-glen-fiber-arts-center.myshopify.com\/products\/intro-to-sewing-for-handweavers-may-7-and-8-2027","provider":"Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
