Ready to transform two neckties into a unique and useful zipper pouch? Join us for “Knot Just a Pouch”, a hands-on workshop where we’ll quilt, sew, and finish your very own memory pouch—just in time for holiday gift-giving (or treating yourself!).
Sign up in August or September & pick up your kit at the September meeting
- When: The workshop will be right after our October Guild meeting on Friday, October 11
- Cost: $20
- FREE Kit Includes:
- Two coordinating men’s ties with fusible backing
- Iron-on fleece
- Zipper
- You Bring:
- Your sewing machine & neutral thread (A medium grey/blue is usually a good choice here)
- One piece of lining fabric from your stash. A fat quarter is plenty big.
- You may also want to include additional coordinating fabrics from your stash. For this you can mix cotton with silk, or any other fabric you like.
- A plan for how you want to piece the exterior—bring sketches, favorite block templates, or simply cut your strips in advance!
Workshop Thought Starters:
- Mix It Up: Front and back panels can be different—mix blocks, simple strips, or improv piecing.
- Community & Creativity: We’ll quilt, sew in the zipper, and finish the pouch in class
- Practical Pouch: Perfect for hand-work projects, chargers, quilt supplies, travel essentials, or even your phone and glasses.
- Upcycle with Purpose: Give new life to those ties you’ve been saving—and carry your memories wherever you go.
How to Reserve Your Kit:
- Sign up with Terry Duncan at the August or September meeting.
- Pay $20 and choose from our selection of pre-made kits (available for pickup at the September meeting)—each one features two different tie fabrics, so pick a combo that speaks to you!
Don’t miss your chance to participate and create a one-of-a-kind zipper pouch.
