“Learn Reverse Applique' with Annie McHugs”

In the workshop, she will focus on cutting and aligning using the template, and on what to do and what not to do. She will show you the best practices and tips to make reverse appliqué easy. She will demonstrate various techniques, including sashings, border treatments, and binding alternatives, using her reverse appliqué method.

This is a technique workshop with the possibility of many different projects, as you will see.

Here are pictures of 3 examples using her techniques, including saving vintage linens.

“Stitched in Time”

This workshop will have something to challenge every level of expertise in the art of Sashiko. Materials kit required - see below.

Projects:

1. Starting with the basic rhythm of unshin, we will make a simple Boro piece “patching”. Unshin means the rhythm of the stitch.

Bring a small (3"x3") piece of embroidery, handwork, quilted fabric, or similar to incorporate into the piece such as the Lady Liberty embroidery shown.

2. Move on to Hitomezashi weaving that can be used as a button.

3. The last piece will start on a pre-made Sashiko fabric, and the student will learn the decorative stitches in the pattern to form a tree.

Your Kit Includes: costs $35

● fabrics

● printed patterns

● hand thimble

● Sashiko needles long and short

● threads of different weights

● a button

● heat erase marker

What You Will Need to Provide:
