Celebrate Mother's Day with this awesome Jelly Roll Rugs & Basket Making Workshop! Is anybody else tired of buying storage baskets and decorative rugs from the store? Well then, it sounds like it's time you learned how to make some! The first day will be focused on rugs, and then once you have that mastered, we're taking things three dimensional with baskets!

In this 2-day series, you will:

  • How to use a rotary cutter

About your Instructor: Hi there! My name is Coco and I immigrated to Canada when I was very young. While I was growing up, I didn't have anybody to teach me sewing, so I decided to just teach myself. Over the past three years, I have really dedicated myself to building on my previous skills and learning as much as I possibly can about sewing. My sewing journey has taken me into garment making, quilting, pattern-making, alterations, and much much more. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you and helping you make the crazy (or boring) ideas in your head a reality and helping you to avoid some of the mistakes that I had to learn about the hard way. One fun little thing I like to say is that sewing is all about creatively stabbing the fabric in a way that achieves the functional and aesthetic goals of your project. See you in class!
