In this class our instructor Julia will have a pre-cut template set on a foam board for you (choose one of the 4 designs!). She will guide you through choosing, and cutting your fabric, using tools to tuck it in, and wrapping your finished edges in a ribbon to add the final touch. Everything you need to create a work of art will be provided in this class. If you have a beautiful pile of scrap fabric just waiting for its day in the sun, or a meaningful item that you'd like to include, feel free to bring fabric from home!
