Taste of Sewing a Fold Flat Box

Join in a fun sewing class where we create fabric boxes that stand up on their own but can also be folded flat. You will learn new sewing/construction techniques, the differences in interfacings and fusible webbing and when to use them (or a combo of them!), how to alter pattern sizes, and create at least one finished collapsible box during class. Students will receive detailed handouts/patterns. Sample sizes/boxes will be on hand to study. Students will pay instructor $5 to cover interfacings/fusibles they will use in class.  11 AM to 3 PM 2nd floor, Oatland Island, large classroom. Six student limit.

Sewing Machine in Good Working Order and extension cord 

Basic Sewing Supplies …

Good quality cotton fabric (non-directional prints only please for this project so no matter how you sew them that they will look great) – fat quarters would work, you’ll want at least 4 coordinating fat quarters or several pieces of fabric that are at least 13 by 16 each that look good together 

Good quality sewing machine thread to coordinate with fabric
