Navigating the
Fabric Store
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
Do you find fabric stores intimidating? There are
so many different fabrics, notions and supplies and
often no expert available to answer your questions.
Bring all of your basic sewing and fabric questions
to this on-location workshop as well as projects you
need consultation on, too. Angie will help you better
understand which fabrics can be used for specific
sewing projects and answer questions about differ-
ent sewing accessories and notions. She will help
you navigate the sewing patterns and how to read
a pattern envelope, too. This workshop will meet at
Hancock Fabrics in North Riverside.
