Negative Reverse Applique Bandana Workshop

Join us for a bandana embroidery workshop in Seattle led by an instructor who is almost always rocking a handmade bandana—Rosalie Gale. If you’ve ever met her in real life, you’ve probably already admired one of her creations. In this class, she’ll teach you how to drop the feed dogs on a sewing machine and stitch up a fancy-looking (but beginner-friendly) bandana of your own.If you don't wear bandanas - and don't think you ever would - don't fret! This bandana also makes a very fancy dog accessory. Make your pup look extra handsome when you tie your masterpiece around their neck.Please bring two (2) old t-shirts with you to class. They should be colors you find pleasing together. We'll be using both of them to make one bandana with negative reverse appliqué. If you don't have any shirts you want to transform, we will have a stack on hand for you to choose from.We'll start with two layers of fabric & stitch them together using free motion embroidery on a sewing machine. Then, we'll cut away the negative space to reveal the second layer of fabric. Voila! Stunning bandana!In this workshop you'll learn:

• how to do free motion embroidery on a sewing machine
• the difference between appliqué, reverse appliqué & negative reverse appliqué
• everyone's favorite kind of potatoes

We'll use the following supplies:

• knit fabric
• thread
• sewing machine with darning foot

You'll have an easier time in this class if you've used a sewing machine before - but if you're a motivated beginner, we'll help you through it.Please note:If you cannot attend class for any reason up to 48 hours before the class, an exchange to another Ugly Baby workshop will be offered.
