4/3 and 4/10: Join me for a sewing class at Studio 34!
In this two-part class, you will hand-stitch and embellish a beautiful pouch to store jewelry, eyeglasses, pencils and more. Inspired by Wagashi: Handcrafted Fashion Art from Japan, this project uses scraps of colorful fabric, ribbon, and beads to create a small and detailed work of art you will be proud to give as a gift! Even if you have never sewn before, you will learn easy sewing techniques you can use in other projects.

In session 2 (April 10, 1PM - 3PM), students embellish their pouches using beads and decorative stitches.
How to register: Contact Studio 34 at (585) 737-5858 to reserve your spot in the class. Cost: $60.
