In this course we will learn the basic sewing skills that can be used daily to make a variety of useful items. The course will

teach students three projects all using the shape of a square. The use of the square makes sewing easy, by simplifying theshapes to something everyone understands. The first project will be to make either a pillow or a simple quilted wall for homedecoration. The second project is to make a bag that can either be used for everyday groceries or just as a handbag. Thethird project will be to make one giant square and create a top, dress, skirt, or bag using a very simple shirring technique.The course will also teach students what fabrics are appropriate for each project, as well as teach them how to userecycled fabric (ie. Use an old t-shirt as the graphic for their bag pocket or an old dress can be made into a throw pillow.)

8 Weeks: Wednesdays 6:30-8:30p; September 22 - November 10
