Artistic Artifacts, 4750 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA 22304, USA, Alexandria, VA, USOver three Thursday evenings (beginning on October 15), we’re working through Ruth Chandler's Modern Hand Stitching — and not stopping with ‘traditional!’ Each class introduces new stitches from the book, then we push them past what's on the page: different threads, different scale, different rules. Judy will also bring sample threads to experiment with and learn about.

The Anna Tote with Quiltoni
Artistic Artifacts, 4750 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA, USThe Anna pattern by Sallie Tomato results in a trendy, versatile and functional tote. Sallie Tomato designed this pattern to help beginners fall in love with bag making — but experienced sewists will love it too and can take advantage of optional customizations. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or dressing up in a casual look, Anna is ready to carry it all in style! Artistic Artifacts will provide bernette 08 Straight Stitch models — Toni’s favorite machine — for students to share. This class will be a lot of fun and will demonstrate the high speed sewing and ability to power through thick layers that this model is known for!
