Whimsical Letters in Fabric Course

Description In this creative class, you will learn how to transform your personal handwriting into stylized, artistic lettering and turn them into appliqué pieces that will add a personal touch to your projects. Do all of this without the use of a commercial pattern so the finished product will be an original work of art—designed by you! Joanne Sharpe shows how to make a lettering journal to begin your journey of playing with letters in your own handwriting to turn them into artistic designs. Then she shows how to use simple imagery to add interest and enhance the message. Turn all of this into appliqué pieces and sew them to a background fabric using simple stitches on your sewing machine. The result is an original pattern that is completely personalized by you! This process is perfect for creating that special gift for a wedding, new baby, for the graduate, or for expressing a thought or saying that is meaningful to you. For your convenience, this class can be purchased for online viewing or purchased on DVD.
