Fiber and Fun 2011

June 6 -10 and June 13 - 17

Fiber and Fun 2010

We got a little silly, we made some new friends, we kept some of the old, we did some sewing, learned some new skills, put on a few plays, sang some songs and ate some popsicles this year at Fiber and Fun. Thanks again to all these great girls who show us their talent and inspire us in so many ways and let us play with needle and thread and scraps and colored pencils again!

See all the pictures from 2 weeks of camp here.

Beginning Sewing Project: The Reversible Tote

These are so much fun to plan and make because you get to pick out 2 fabrics that you love! And they are pretty easy to sew too, so you will be making them and making them and making them some more…before you know it you will have enough made to fit all your groceries and your friends groceries too!
We’ll be using this online tutorial as our guide
It is a great tutorial with wonderful pictures, so we are not going to re-invent the wheel (or the tote) on this one!

You will learn all about:
Sewing straight seams
Topstitching

You will need:
3/4 yd each of 2 coordinating lightweight cotton fabrics
Matching thread

Punch Cards: the Wave of the Future

We know you are busy people.

(We're pretty busy too.)

So we've come up with a new way to handle the sewing class schedule and we're pretty excited about it.

The answer is: punch cards.

If you are interested in taking a sewing class but can't commit to 4 weeks in a row, now you have a solution. You can buy a punch card that entitles you to 4 sessions at Felted Heart Studio and then you come when you can. If you need to miss a week, or have a sick child, no problem, you just skip that week.

Punch card classes are on Thursday nights from 6:30 - 9:00 starting April 15th. Since classes are small and two instructors will be on hand every week, we are going to be accomodating all levels during this class. So whether or not you are a beginner who needs to start at square one, or an advanced sewer who needs help with some specific projects, this schedule will suit your needs.

We also have learned over the past year that our students have different ideas about what they would like to learn and accomplish during class. So in the next weeks we will be posting project ideas here on the blog complete with a supply list so you can pick a project, purchase supplies and come to class prepared. Just use the search bar on the side of the blog to search for "projects" and you will see what the options are.

Price for 4 sessions is $200

Summer Camp is Filling Up Fast!

We still have a few spots left for week one, June 7 - 11. Give us a call at 678-559-4977 or e-mail Mary at Mary@feltedheart.com to reserve your spot.

We are planning a week full of fun and challenging projects, so don't miss out!
