We have heard it over and over....

“I have too much fabric at home!
“ I can’t buy any more fabric till I use up what I already have”
“What do I do with all those scraps”
“I need help with organizing my fabrics”

Well it is Finally Here! Scrap Therapy!

We start with a CUTTING WORKSHOP to get you organized. Scraps are cut into three sensible sizes, and organized into convenient see-thru bins for easy access (your first storage bin is free!). The cutting seminar is dedicated to honing your rotary cutting techniques, teaching efficient cutting techniques and introducing you to new rulers and tools to make cutting more accurate. This is the first step in getting your fabric stash under control!

Next there will be QUILT PROJECT CLASS to use your newly-cut and organized fabric pieces in a variety of fresh patterns and projects. Watch your scrap stack shrink while converting scrap fabrics into usable quilts, table runners, bags and more. Watch for Project classes starting in January. Cutting Workshop is a pre-requisite.

Supplies: Bring in all of your scraps- Pile them in a basket, a bag, your trunk, it doesn't matter, just get them here. Your therapist will help you organize them into useful pieces for later use in fun projects. You will also need a rotary cutter, mat and ruler at least 5" wide.
