Beginner Bias and Collage
This is a one-day, hands on workshop where you will learn how to make and sew bias for use in collaged garments and home decorating projects. We will be tackling the upside down HongKong finish that I use to edge a lot of my jackets and coats.
This is a prerequisite course for all other classes below (unless you have taken a class from me before and are proficient at making and sewing bias).
These classes are fun for all! Come see for yourself.
Bring: A sewing machine in good working order, scissors, pins and thread. I will provide the rest.
Time: 10:00 am to approximately 3:30 pm with a lunch break. Please bring your own lunch. I will provide a variety of teas and coffee.
Cost: $95.00 including taxes and materials
Dates: (Choose one): Friday, October 7, 2011 (Now Full)
Saturday, October 8, 2011 (Open)
If the Saturday also fills, a class may be added on Monday, October 3, 2011.
Level 1 - Learning to Design your Own Collaged Garment
(or pillow or bag)
These are a set of two 3-hour classes with homework assigned for you to do between classes. We will learn the simpler methods I use to collage garments but apply them to a bag or pillow at this level. If you wish you can bring patterns and materials that you already have in your stash. Do NOT buy anything new before the first class. Also, we will not be sewing in the classroom, so don't bring your sewing machine; just your smile.
Cost: $100.00 including tax for the set of two classes
Dates: Friday, October 14, 2011 and October 28, 2011 OR
Saturday, October 15 and October 29. 2011
Time: All classes start at 10:00 am
Level 2 - Taking the Next Step up to ‘More’
These are a set of two 3-hour classes with homework assigned for you to do between classes. We are taking the next step up to a jacket or coat and more design techniques. The same prerequisite applies, or you’ve taken a one of my classes and you have a good handle on bias and simple collage. Please bring patterns and/or fabrics in your stash that you are thinking of using to the first class. Also, we will not be sewing in the class, so don't bring your sewing machine; just your smile.
Cost: $100.00 including tax for the set
Dates: Friday November 4th and November 11, 2011 OR
Saturday, November 5, 2011 and November 12, 2011

Upcoming Future Workshops: Date, TBD
1. Beauty for Ashes: Recycling and Reclaiming cloth into wearable art. This is part of my on-going journey to be more productive, greener and innovative. I have just become a member of www.goingforthegreen.net, too. I am so excited!
2. Inspired Garments: We will take something you find inspiring (could be a vase, painting or another object) and interpret it into a garment.
If you are interested in either of these workshops, please contact me at 905 875-7349.
General Information Concerning Classes and Workshops
If a class gets cancelled, or you miss your chance for this session, I can put you on a waiting list, which gives you priority for the next available class. If the dates or times don’t sync with your schedule but you would like to take a class, please call (905 875 7349) or email me and I will see what I can do to accommodate you. Contact me as soon as you can with your class preferences so you are not disappointed. Once the class is confirmed I will notify you and we can arrange payment.
Classes are limited in numbers to provide you with a rewarding experience.
Classes and Workshops
My Introduction
For those of you who want to sew their own unique garments, welcome to my world! From time to time I offer classes sharing techniques and the knowledge I use in my creations.
Join in with others who have really enjoyed their experience here in "House on the Hill Studio", a wonderfully eclectic space that I share with artist Janet Bailey (www.theartofjanetbailey.com) in the Village of Glen Williams, Ontario.
