Weighted Gusset Stand Up February 24th

We will finish a weighted gusseted stand-up. Pieces should be smaller than 6x6 and square or rectangle. Students should be comfortable lacing round ornaments, making cording, and sewing cording on. Students need to bring the following:
-backing fabric. Dupioni Silk, stretchy velvet, or quilting cotton recommended. Thick fabrics can be hard to sew through and should be avoided.
-Gusset fabric or ribbon for the gusset- 1 yard minimum recommended. If using ribbon, they will want ribbon that is 1.5 inches wide.
-Students should make cording ahead of time and bring it to class. Students will want to make double cording as one strand is needed for the front AND the back Lita will have a cording station set up in case students don’t have the required tools at home.
-Students should lace the canvas around the front board ( ONLY THE FRONT) like they would for an ornament and bring it to class.
