Kansas City ASG will be hosting a Zoom workshop with Christine Barnes on January 25, 2025 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. The Zoom link will be sent directly to those who register before the event. We are excited to have a workshop that appeals to garment makers, bag makers, and quilters alike! Are you interested in collage and color theory? This workshop is for you!
In this color-and-design workshop, students learn how to collage a variety of raw-edge shapes onto a foundation, zig-zag the edges with a neutral thread,and surface stitch through all layers to create a new “fabric." Two construction choices are: • Reversible vest with binding and Hong Kong seam finish (using the Crossover Collage or Turkish Delight pattern) • Lined vest with collar and ties (Using the Kimono Collage vest pattern) You can also use your own pattern, or choose to make a bag of any size. There is a separate supply list for each of the two options, and you will receive both after signing up.
The workshop costs $40 for ASG members.
January sewing retreat!
We're planning an ASG Kansas City takeover of the KC Maker Studio January retreat! The latest indications from KC Maker are that the workshop is going on as planned, despite this week's winter weather!
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, KC Maker will open up its back room for a long weekend sewing retreat. They have a couple ironing boards and cutting stations, adjustable-height tables for easier layout and SO many electrical outlets. They also provide breakfast each day and lunch Saturday.
The January retreat runs 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 10 and 11, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12. It's flexible, so you can come late, leave early and pop in and out as needed. They ask that you bring a snack to share, and three fat quarters to play a game.
Join us for the January retreat if you'd like to mingle with guild members and other sewing aficionados! The event is sold out, but you can sign up here for the waitlist by filling in "Attendee name" under the January dates and clicking "Add to Wait List." It costs $75 for the weekend.
