Got a throw pillow at home that you’d like to change up for holidays or maybe you’re looking to change your decor colors for the season?
In this workshop, you will learn the skills to sew a cover for your existing throw pillows. You can use any pillow insert, up to 20”x20” but you will learn how easy it can be to upscale the same technique to any size throw pillow.
This project is a great way to start sewing if you are still new to the craft or a great refresher if you just haven’t sewn in some time.
In this beginner-friendly workshop we’ll cover sewing machine basics like threading and winding a bobbin, then get to work cutting, pinning and sewing a beautiful new pillow cover you can take home and enjoy right away!
Common Craft in Hazel Park, MI
November 19th, 6—8pm.
$65 per person, no experience necessary.
Registration is required.

There are two different variations we will explore:

A Pillow cover with a zipper hidden by a flange.
