IN PERSON WORKSHOP

Date: April 9, 2025

Instructor: Manon Pelletier
Workshop Description: 
This hands-on sewing workshop is for weavers who desire to turn their handwovens into one of a kind garment. One aspect of a well-constructed garment is finishing techniques for seams. Participants will receive kits for a fee containing handwoven samples, sewing notions, and instructions for various seam treatments.

A sewing machine in good working order is required for this workshop. The instructor will demonstrate each seam treatment before participants assemble their own at the workshop as time permits or at home. After this workshop, participants will gain confidence in cutting and sewing handwoven cloth for the purpose of garment construction or home décor.


Supplies: a portable sewing machine in good working order, sewing supplies (scissors, pins, measuring tape), and an extension cord.
Materials/Handouts Fee: $20.00
Attendee Limit: 10
