Learning objectives:

In this techniques class you’ll learn to sew no-pin curves in different sizes using my Complete and Long Oval Drunkard’s Path templates. The different sized curves are assembled and cut into wedges that, joined together, create a kaleidoscope style flower with either six or four petals. I will show you how to get accurate angles on your wedges and how to get the seams to match. As usual there will be lots of ideas on how to make your own version and how to best use the different sized blocks and the wedges in your own design.

I’ll show you how I choose colours and how different colour values will help enhance the ‘folds’ in the petals.

We will be using the Complete and Long Oval Drunkard’s Path template sets in this class. The paper version of the templates is included but, if you decide only the Acrylic templates will suffice, you’ll receive a 10% class discount code upon booking the class. The Acrylic templates are highly recommended for ease and accuracy, especially if you are a stickler for precision, and will be shipped to you with USPS from within the US (no customs fees or import tax will be added).
