Katie Ringo returns to Scrap and Sew to teach Melt & Blend!

Good morning everybody! We have been busy busy busy, but I have a quick update for you about classes that you DO NOT want to miss!

Katie Ringo taught Melt & Blend here at the store before, and we have filled the class EVERY SINGLE TIME!! The response has been so amazing that we decided to offer the class yet again! We would love to fill it up, so if you are interested, be sure to call ahead and reserve your spot - the seats might fill quickly.

For those of you who have already taken the Melt & Blend class, do not worry! Katie will also be teaching an Advanced Melt & Blend class for everybody who enjoyed the first class and would love to experiment more with the blending technique. See below for details and the store samples for both classes.



Beginner Melt and Blend

This is a fun and easy technique to master so you can paint your fabric appliqué shapes the exact color you want.

Upcoming classes and store update!

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to share a little bit about our upcoming classes and events at the store! We have some great ones coming up and we would love to see you there!

But first, there is a new show on Bravo called Styled to Rock will featuring Rihanna, Pharell and many other celebrity guests and will give aspiring designers a chance to style an outfit for one or more musical acts each week. The contestants are fighting for a 100,000 dollar cash prize, a fashion feature in Glamour magazine and the once-in-a-lifetime chance to become the next member of Rihanna's style team. It's like Project Runway, but with a bit more rock. AND, THE BEST PART of it is that the designers are featuring Pfaff sewing machines to make their projects! 



Beginner Melt and Blend

Pull out your old box of crayons and get ready to blend them together to make dazzling appliqué pieces for your art quilts. This is a fun and easy technique to master so you can paint your fabric appliqué shapes the exact color you want.
