We have scheduled our ever popular embroidery retreat to give you more time and education at a great value! We hope you like our this format for our embroidery retreat – a whole 2 days away from reality, where you can create and complete projects, learn new techniques and become inspired and motivated in all of your embroidery creations. Do you have design sets that you purchased and never got to stitch?
Bring your embroidery UFO’s and get them finished (I have dog and cat blocks…smile, grimace)! This is the perfect time and place to to do them! Or maybe you got “stuck” in the middle of an embroidery project and didn’t know exactly how to move forward? Bring it in and we can discuss options! I promise you will leave with new knowledge, inspiration and a sense of accomplishment.
Please call to reserve your seat as this event fills quickly and space is limited. 603-373-0151

All you need to bring is your sewing machine in good working condition with a free motion foot installed, a collection of threads (polyester, cotton, rayon content in a variety of weights and colors OK) and 3 or four 18” fabric/batting/fabric sandwiches (a variety of prints makes stitching more fun!).. If you have an extension table for your machine, that would also be helpful. And, we have free motion gloves in stock if you need to purchase some. Learn about muscle memory and how to set up your machine with the feed teeth lowered. Then, we’ll start out with some simple designs and practice, practice, practice! It’ll be FUN!

The simplicity of the Nyla Jacket design combined with the bright, bold fabric makes for a wonderful and wearable garment. It is the ideal jacket for those slightly cool autumn and spring days. The HUGE hood makes it very cozy and attractive and it has deep pockets. Easy to sew, wonderful to wear – what is not to like?! Make yours from two identical jelly rolls OR use a lightweight to medium weight fabric that you absolutely love! This is a multi-size pattern: all sizes from S to 3 XL are on the same pattern. It was created for a person approximately 5’6″ tall. If your height is above or below, you may adjust pattern length by a few inches to the bottom of the pattern.
*** PLEASE READ IMPORTANT ***
If you are using jelly roll strips to make your jacket, you must complete STEP 1 BEFORE class. Here are the instructions for STEP 1:
Step 1: With RIGHT SIDES together, sew all the strips together to form one “body” of fabric. Each jelly roll is composed of 42 strips. Repeat this step for the second jelly roll and attach the two pieces together forming one piece of fabric with 84 strips.
*** SUPPLY LIST ***
_ 2 Jelly Rolls
_ 3 Yards Coorindating/Contrasting Print for Lining
_ 1 Yard Woven Fusible Interfacing (for the FRONT FACING)
_ 5 1.5″ Buttons (Optional) You can use leftover strips as a belt or use leftover scraps to cover buttons or use no buttons at all
