Q105: Images Exploded
Patricia Rogers - Full Day - $45
What a fun and unique project Pat has designed for you! This is a chance to play with large scale motifs and explode them with smaller prints to create a great new design. Once the illusion is formed, it is enhanced with the large motif and embellished with threads. The finished design is great as a wall hanging or bag.

DETAILS ABOUT THE
SEWING SCHOOL
Discount Vacuum & Sewing Center is proud to announce a new concept in sewing instruction. We have created the Sewing School inside Discount Vacuum & Sewing Center. No longer do you have to take classes in multiple locations to get the subject matter you want. You now have a local source for sewing classes that span ALL types of sewing disciplines: clothing, quilting, home dec, crafting, clubs and more, all in ONE location. The Sewing School allows you to take basic courses and progress through more advanced classes.
Are you a total beginner? The Sewing School will assume you know NOTHING about sewing and show you how easy sewing can be. Have experience? The Sewing School offers advanced courses with challenges and new projects that will inspire your creativity.
The Sewing School is unlike anything offered before in this area. Each of our Centers has a fully equipped classroom and our Sewing School instructors have vast experience in their area of expertise. Easy to use machines are provided for you in our Sewing School. You can bring your own if you prefer. Where other places may offer random sewing classes, the Sewing School has courses in all areas of sewing. The courses are set up like those in a school or college with levels of 100, 200, 300, etc. This allows you to know the level of experience in each class, and to know which skills you need to progress to another class level.
Classes at the Sewing School teach you not only techniques, but keep you up-to-date with the latest sewing notions, accessories, and equipment. Dont worry, this isnt like your old home ec class! The Sewing School uses FUN and easy techniques that will encourage you to want to sew more. We take the fear out of sewing and have a FUN environment where we laugh at our mistakes. You WONT find stuffy perfectionists teaching at our Sewing School!
New sewing classes will be added throughout the year. Our website is always updated with our latest offerings. Sign up for our email updates and well notify you when new classes (and other great sewing news) become available. We are committed to being your Center for sewing knowledge and are excited to be the ONLY place in the region to offer a Sewing School.
TUITION POLICY: Checks for class fees are made payable to the instructor, NOT Discount Vacuum & Sewing Center. For this reason, we regret that we cannot accept credit cards for class payment. You are considered registered for a class ONLY when full payment is received. Sorry, we cant reserve class spaces over the phone. Please try to register as early as possible before class dates. You may cancel up to eleven days prior with a full refund. Canceling ten days or less prior to a class will result in NO REFUND due to class supplies already being purchased. Sorry, no exceptions.
SUPPLIES DISCOUNT: Purchase from our Centers any supply listed on a supply sheet for one of our classes and receive 10% OFF the price of that item. Exceptions include a sewing machine or serger.
HERE'S WHAT THE COURSE NUMBERS MEAN:
The Sewing School has classes in five disciplines (categories): clothing (CL), quilting (Q), home dec (HD), crafts & seasonal (CS), and clubs (CB). These letter codes let you know which discipline the class is in. Classes are also broken down into experience levels.
100 level courses: the most basic and are recommended for beginners
200 level courses: for intermediate sewers who are comfortable with basic skills and are looking for more
300 level courses: for experienced sewers who have mastered intermediate skills and want a more challenging class
400 and 500 level courses: for very experienced sewers who want to learn difficult skills
For example, class CL102 would be a clothing (CL) class for a beginner (100 level). |
