The Art of Cartonnage! Fabric Gift Basket Kit #217
Cartonnage is the amazing "art of box making" that is SO fun and relaxing. This is a NO-SEWING required project and you can make amazing fabric boxes, cases and so much more!
If you are not into Quilt making or Embroidery but just love fabric, this is a technique that you must try. With a few supplies and the guidance of Barb, in no time, you will be creating and enjoying a no-sewing way to create unique pieces for your home or gift giving. Drop in to the store today to see a couple of projects to see what Cartonnage is. We are very excited to bring this technique to the store! It is not your normal quilting project!
This class will cover the project – Fabric gift Basket. This is a beginner kit that you will want to make for yourself, family, neighbors, and friends. This gift basket measures 81/4 x 61/2 x 4 inches. These make fun baskets to fill with pastries, breads, cosmetics, towels, or anything festive for the holidays. This basket is very fun to fussy cut your fabric. Bring a little extra fabric if you would like to do this.
This kit does not have any online written instructions. The instructions online are in video format.
The kits will be in the store to purchase for the box. The cost of this is not part of the Class Fee. You can purchase your kit any time before class. If you don’t purchase the kit before class, one will be waiting for you at class time. The kit fee is not included in the class fee. All participants must purchase a kit to be used in class.When you come to your class - bring the following:
- 2 fat quarters (or more if you want more variety in your project)
- snips
- scissors
- 3x12 ruler
- heavy book to weigh down your project
- rotary cutter
- cutting mat - Can be a smaller one - 12x18
Fabrics that you will want to avoid for this project are directional fabrics and fabrics that could bleed. If you are worried about bleeding, wash and dry your fabric first. Do not use Kona Fabrics either to get a successful outcome. Another fabric to avoid is a light colored = plain fabric. These fabrics tend to allow for a glue spot. Using grunge or another blender is a great substitute for solid fabric.
We like having 4 students enrolled in the class to move forward but do make exceptions depending on the class. But come and join in. This is a great new way to use fabric and you don't need a machine.
When you arrive for your class, please be prepared to park on the east side of the building. If you are impaired, please know you can park on the front of the building towards the east end. If you must cancel your class after signup, please call the store and we will refund your fee in the form of a credit to your account.
If your class is going to go across lunch, no lunch will be provided for this class. We do have a fridge available for your use as well as a microwave for warming items. You also can run to Casey’s to grab something from there. The Casey’s in Hudson is approximately 10 blocks away. If you bring a drink with you, it must be in a sealed, closable slide container. No Casey’s cups or other fast food cups. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
