Join Julie and learn to make the super fashionable leggings in just your size. Better still, pick the fabric that suits you best!
Leggings are everywhere and we love them. Under a tunic or dress, tucked into boots with a tee and a jacket, ooh-la-la. This pattern is a winner from Jalie and covers 27 sizes from girls age 2 through women's plus size 22! Julie is a master at sewing knits so grab your stuff and come on in.
This is a 4 hour class, using the Jalie pattern 2920 and a knit blend that has at least 40% stretch in both directions. It covers fitting, cutting, and completing the leggings. Once you get the right fit, you won’t want to stop at one pair!
Hip Stitch has many fabrics suitable for leggings. Julie says that any of them that are at least 95% cotton, 5% spandex will work great in this pattern. We recommend pre-washing your fabric before fitting and cutting.

You get your next pattern free if you finished last month's project; also free when you purchase strips for your quilt!
Cindy and Meredith will help you learn new methods with each session, and you don't have to get all dressed up.

Tonight, 4/19
5:30-8:30 p.m.
Tomorrow morning
Saturday, 4/20

Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a King named Spool. He was fully 5 times larger than the . . .
Do I really have to keep this silliness going? We've got huge spools of thread -- Glide by Fil Tec. It's the good stuff, now available in 5000 meter spools of neutral colors.
If you're a long-armer, this really will help you to

Not just for breakfast anymore.
It's useful to make bags, place mats, aprons, napkins and yes, even towels.
Useful for cleaning up after breakfast, lunch, supper, dinner, brunch or a snack. These towels won't leave lint behind on your glassware. Comes in fun, retro prints, colors and stripes to match most any decor.
Two seams and you've got a towel, because it's hemmed on the sides. Quick and thoughtful gift, a project for beginners or anyone selling at craft shows.
