The Pillow Project

Tuesday, February 7 @

6 pm-8 pm

Project: Gathered Heart Pillow

Techniques Covered:

Construction of a knife-edged pillow with tips for a professional finish; hand-sewn closure; and pillow top with a gathered insert

Instructor: Carol Gates

Fee: $25 per month - Maximum class size: 5 students

Ten months, ten pillows! Starting February, you will learn a new technique and embellishment every month for making beautiful decorator pillows. These small projects are addictive. Once you get started, you will be combining all that you have learned to make unique pillows that are just the right size, style and color for your home or to give to that special someone.

You may choose which classes to register for, but pay close attention to the skills taught in each session. There is a progression from simple to complex patterns, and not every technique will be covered each class. For example, adding piping to the pillow edge will be taught in March. The April pillow has piping, but that skill will not be covered in the April class. Request the Pillow Project schedule of classes to be taught for more information.

Students will provide fabric, thread, buttons, zippers, batting and stuffing. The instructor will provide specialty items or materials that are needed.

Tuesdays, February 7, 14, 21 & 28

@ 10 am-12 pm

Come and enjoy the fellowship while getting your sewing done! Bring your sewing machine or handwork to sit, sew and visit awhile! Make plans to join us on every Tuesday morning each month. Help will be available to members on the “how-to” as needed. This will also be a good time to make those donation items. The fellowship and knowledge are FREE!
