mixed media wearable art apron : workshop duration 5 hours

Ever wondered what if? Apronology is just that! With a love for canvas and color and texture I sat down and began assembling a what if idea. What if I made an apron out of canvas? What would it look like? A beautiful blend of function and style this apron takes the stiff texture of canvas and blends it with the soft sheerness of muslin to create an artistically feminine piece of wearable artwork. This workshop is designed to teach you the basics of “craft-sewing” by creating dimensional ribbon flowers, gathered skirts, embroidery design, layered trims, assembly and the imperfect pucker!

What if you walked into a room wearing this? Gotcha thinking? Imagine the look on your loved ones face when they opened this amazing hand crafted gift…you’re not going to want to miss this workshop!

“other than a basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine, no prior sewing skills necessary!”
