Sewists will add hems\, facings\, and seams to their designs. \nLearn how to tweak patterns for fashion\, style\, or fit. \nIn the afternoon\, we will move to Stitch Painter\, a grid-based software program (perfect for knitting\, crochet\, beading\, etc)\, where you will learn how to design colored charts on a grid\, using repeat modes\, pre-determined palettes\, etc. We will explore some of the more advanced features such as designing with symbols\, importing a photograph\, building motif libraries\, etc. \nIf you are test driving\, you must pre-arrange a digital download through Cochenille.com\, Please email info@cochenulle.com. You will be able to use the software for the day; Windows or Macintosh compatible. \n\n\nSewing Techniques for Combining Yarn Crafts with Fabric \nSaturday 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm \nWhy not add mixed-media techniques to your creative repertoire? Learn to combine knit or crochet with commercial fabrics. Using hand-techniques\, you will make samples that can be used along with your knit and crochet swatches in a garment or accessory.We will sample joining techniques\, cut-and-sew our knits\, add edgings\, finishings\, etc. and discuss knitting and crochet techniques for finishing your designs beautifully. Mixed Media is simple when you have the right techniques!Note: Basic sewing skills required.
