Celebrate the season with a creative sewing project inspired by Halloween and Day of the Dead. Using colorful fabric scraps and simple templates, you’ll create a piece that can be finished as a mug rug, table topper, ornament, or small wall hanging. Together we’ll walk through the process of cutting, layering, and stitching by hand, with a demo of machine techniques included. Along the way, you’ll learn tips for neat seams and finishing edges.
All materials—thread, needles, and templates—are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own machine or extra fabric to personalize your design. Perfect for both beginners and experienced sewists, this class is a fun way to pick up new skills and leave with a festive handmade piece to enjoy or share.
