Sewing Workshop
March 4, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Introduction to Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) with Megan Avery
FPP is the technique of using paper as a foundation to stabilize the quilt block as it is constructed, allowing you to sew almost any shape, size or type of quilt block. The technique is used to achieve precise, small and detailed piecing, and specific and unusual shapes that might not necessarily be achieved through traditional piecing.
In this beginner workshop, we’ll use this technique to create small mountain motifs from fabric scraps that can easily be sewn into garments, home decor and quilts later.
Megan Avery is the human behind Hipstitch Academy. She has been teaching and encouraging people to make their own clothing for over 20 years. “My creative vision is to help people embrace alternatives to fast fashion by teaching people to sew, encourage thrifting, mending and altering clothes, as well as provide alternative fashions & goodies made from items that already exist in the world.” Hipstitch Academy offers in-person classes for children and adults in Harpersfield, NY as well as online courses via Zoom.
This workshop is limited to 8 participants. The fee for this workshop is $35 and includes all materials.
