Description:The Rooster EPP Project Finished Size: 20" x 20" Technique: English Paper Piecing English paper piecing is a technique where fabric is wrapped around paper templates and secured with basting stitches or glue. I teach using glue basting, but other techniques are discussed briefly and welcome to be used. The pieces are then sewn together by hand. We will begin our time discussing general information about English paper piecing, best practices and tools. Then we will begin our project together and work step by step through English paper piecing. Throughout the class period I will stop the group and demonstrate as questions arise. Before the end of our time together we will cover paper removal, finishing and quilting. EPP is a slow process. Be prepared for a leisure class time of project preparation and slow sewing.

$124.00
Road Staff
Location:
One dayMonday, January 16th 2023
From 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
We have a special treat in store for you today. We will explore some of our favorite shops in the Fashion District.
Our first stop this morning is the Los Angeles Fashion District (www.fashiondistrict.org) where you’ll have a chance to wander and shop. We’ll drop you at Michael Levine’s where you will find fabric of all kinds at a discount. Michael Levine’s is located in downtown Los Angeles and carries fabrics at great prices from many well known manufacturers such as Kaufman, Hoffman, RJR, Kona Bay, Wilmington, South Sea, Riley Blake, Studio E, Elizabeth Studio, and Westminster, just to name a few.
From there we will take you on a walking tour of the Fashion District to share with you our favorite places for fabrics and embellishments. There are shops with beads, ribbons, silks, and just about anything you can think of to incorporate into your next quilt or garment. We will travel to the Grand Central Market where we will have lunch (on your own). The Market is a downtown landmark since 1917 and brings together the cuisines and cultures of Los Angeles. With over 30 eateries to choose from, there is something for everyone. If you have time, walk across the street to see the Bradbury Building. Built in 1893, it is an architectural landmark in downtown Los Angeles known for its extraordinary sky-lit atrium of walkways, stairs and elevators made with ornate ironwork.
After lunch we will have a private tour of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (better known as FIDM). The FIDM Collections currently hold over 15,000 objects of high fashion, covering more than 200 years of history. We then travel to Mood (https://www.moodfabrics.com/). Yes, that Mood! The one you’ve heard about on Project Runway! This, too, is one of our favorite shopping spots. We promise fabric, fabric, and more fabric!
