Program – No Sew Stars. – (Pre work)
The No Sew Stars can be made in a variety of sizes. Each one is made from 4 strips of fabric, which is folded like bias tape. Size options are: 4 x 14, 3.5 x 13, OR 3 x 12.
Please precut your fabric.
Although we will have irons, it is a good idea to also pre-iron your strips
Please bring the following: 4 strips (or more, if you want to make more than one), iron and ironing surface, if you have one (wool mats are great ), fabric glue, if you have , scissors, spray starch, if you have it, and tweezers.
Ann has left us extra fabric strips, cording and other supplies we will be using. You do not need to go out and buy glue or starch. Bring it if you already have it.
After the No Sew Stars, Carrie has a fun game for us. There will be prizes.
