Simple Sequence Knitting
2022-06-25 13:00 - 15:00 UTC | Becoming Elli Studio, 14665 Midway Road, Addison, TX, 75001, United States
Learn something soothing and fun! Sequence knitting repeats a combination of stitches row-by-row to create unique, (often) reversible fabrics. If you love knitting textures or are looking for new ideas for combining yarns (especially variegated yarns), this is for you.
We’ll use knits, purls, and a tiny bit of knitting math (don’t worry—we’ll help!) to make stitch patterns line up or serpentine across the fabric. This class is excellent for both beginners and seasoned knitters who want to up their game. We’ll spend most of the of class swatching simple sequences to understand the techniques and then give you some time to invent your own sequences with the techniques that appeal to you most.
We’ll provide an onscreen presentation and lots of hands on help during class, and you’ll get detailed written instructions and a list of resources and pattern ideas to take home.
WHO CAN ATTEND: Ages 18 and up
SKILL LEVEL: ALL including beginners who can confidently cast on, knit, purl and bind off

Father's Day Fabric Trays
2022-06-11 13:00 - 15:00
Come learn how to make folded fabric trays for Father’s Day gifts or for yourself! These are great for holding small items, like binder clips, coins, earbuds, you name it. Make any size you’d like! Big or small, can use fat quarters or leftover fabric from other projects.
During this hands-on class, you will cut and sew a folded fabric tray that can be permanently stitched or made with snaps to store flat. You can change up the dimensions and stitch your tray to be pointy or squared off at the corners. It’s so easy and fun that you’ll immediately want to make more! Once you learn the technique, you can piece future trays (like the sample in the photo) if you want something fancier.
SKILL LEVEL:
This is a project class suitable for experienced beginners as well as more advanced sewists ages 18 and up. Please note that I will not be teaching students how to sew in this class–you MUST know how to use a sewing machine and know basic sewing terminology so we can spend class time stitching this project.
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:
– Sewing machine with foot pedal and power cable

– Disappearing ink fabric marker
