Floor Canvas Rugs
PLEASE INCLUDE KIT SELECTION WHEN CHECKING OUT
Do you find that box store throw rugs always seem to fall short for specific interior space dimensions or notoriously fall apart after a few washings...if they can be machine washed at all?!! The frustration is over! Tami Pfeil will introduce you to the concept of a quilted “floor canvas”. That’s right….we are going to create outside the quilt fabric box and create a mini raw-edge appliqué quilt suitable for underfoot! Every holiday season needs some whimsy, and these rugged and washable quilts for the floor fit the bill with utility value and grit to outlast their box-store counterparts.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilting veteran or a sewing newbie, a floor canvas is a terrific, smaller-scale project to hone your basic sewing skills when working with heavier canvas fabrics. An “illustrate with thread” technique will also be introduced to embellish and add visual dimension to the appliqué pieces. There will be plenty of canvas-related tips and tricks along the way. The ease and flexibility of a floor canvas will have you creating these “mini quilts for the floor” for the kitchen, bath, hallway, entry, mud room, and more. All festive options are based on classic HandBEHG Felts designs and holiday themes - just perfect for your home and gift giving! Maximum finished dimension approximately 33 x 51.

Stanton Hoodie Serger Along
The Stanton Hoodie is stylish and cozy, making it perfect for winter! The pattern is custom-fitted to your body, accommodating all shapes and sizes! If you have a larger chest or hips, hoodies often end up uncomfortably tight or sloppy and oversized, but Cashmerette patterns are designed for curves to give you an amazing fit at the bustline AND the rest of your body.
Although the Stanton pattern features a pullover and a zip-up version, we will be making the pullover.
You will be amazed at how fun and easy this hoodie is to make. We will be using our sergers exclusively for construction and you will be guided step by step in the process.
