Improv Sewing Demo: Make & Take a Stitched Vase or Votive

On Sunday May 6th, as part of the Vagabond Indie Craft Fair, Nicole Blum will be joining us and offering free sewing demos & workshops! She recently co-authored the book Improv Sewing with Debra Immergut, and copies of the book will be for sale.

The sewing world is about to go improv! Discover how to have more fun with your sewing machine in this free demo/workshop. Learn the addictive art of sketching with thread — an easy technique for embellishing inexpensive solid fabrics and adding a ton of personal style to your sewn projects. Take home a beautiful votive/vase for your home. Fabric is free–small charge for votive jar. Beginners welcome!

Nicole and Debra are the authors of the just-published book Improv Sewing: A Freeform Approach to Creative Techniques; 101 Fast, Fun, and Fearless Projects: Dresses, Tunics, Scarves, Skirts, Accessories, Pillows, Curtains and More. Nicole is an artist, crafter, blogger, and sewing entrepreneur who sells her sewn jersey creations through her blog, One Golden Apple, and at craft fairs. Debra is a writer and content packager, and senior editor at FamilyFun magazine. She blogs with Nicole Blum at Improv Diary.
