Who is this class for:

In this class, we’re letting loose! This will be a fun, low pressure class. You don’t have to have perfect seams or stitches in this class. You just need a desire to create with fabric.

This class is perfect for beginners, but all skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun! While a basic knowledge of machine sewing will be helpful for this class, Lauren will guide you through a few hand-stitching basics, so anyone can join in on this experience.

If you’re not comfortable drawing, sketching, or creating a full composition, you can download a free project template (provided in the class resources) to create a simple illustration using the techniques we cover in this class.

Fusible appliqué is a great technique to help you think about working with fabric and thread in a new way. So if this class sounds right for you, grab your favorite sewing supplies, and let’s get started!
