Live from Los Angeles, United States

On Saturday, September 26, at 2:30 PM EST, join VAWAA and textile artist Debra Weiss to learn various techniques of layering and stitching. 

Debra has always worked with her hands. Her process is very intuitive and she rarely uses a sewing machine. As a textile artist, she composes with color, much like a painter does, but works in fiber processes: crocheting, stitching, knitting, knotting, layering and weaving.

In this session, we will learn how to layer, appliqué and reverse appliqué – both techniques that can be used for mending. We will use hemming stitch, running stitch, blanket stitch and learn how to use the stitches to embellish the piece. Using these techniques, we will complete fabric coaster/s handmade by each one of us. 

All levels welcome, no experience required. Limited to 18 participants.
