Pillow Sewing Workshop Recap

Christmas Pillow Cover 

Sewing Workshop Recap

I am getting back in the swing of things and restarting my monthly sewing workshops!  To kick them off, I hosted a Christmas Pillow Cover Workshop in my home this month, and wanted to share some snapshots with you.  The class was 3 hours long, and everyone completed a 16x16 zippered pillow cover with a Christmas appliqué.  There was food and beverages, and lots of girly chit chat, everyone had a great time!

If you missed the class and want a copy of the instruction workbook, you can purchase one on my Etsy shop here: Christmas Pillow Cover Tutorial

I served buffalo wing pretzel sticks, spinach artichoke cups, pears and blackberries, and caramel walnut brownies.  Find the recipes here:

Spinach Artichoke Cups

Buffalo Wing Pretzel Sticks

Ghiradelli Chocolate Caramel Turtle Brownie Mix

Everyone had the option to purchase their own fabrics to match their decor, or I would supply the red and grey check, and black felt.  Here are the completed projects:

I will be hosting a sewing basics workshop in January, for beginners!  We will go through getting acquainted with your machine, from threading the machine, adjusting stitch length and type, to finishing seams.  You will go home with a workbook and labeled sewing samples for future reference.  Food, beverages, and lots of laughter will be served!

Workshop will be held in Bixby, Oklahoma.  I will email class supply lists on January 1, 2015.  Seats are limited, click on the link to pay and reserve your spot:
