Fiber Arts

AFS UFO Studio, formerly known as Sewing Circle, is an out of this world opportunity for fiber artists to come and complete the UnFinished Objects floating around their home. UFO Studio is free to attend, and though it is non-instructional, peer-to-peer help is always available. All forms of projects are welcome ? bring your unfinished weaving, sewing, embroidery, rug hooking, knitting, crocheting, felting, or any other project that involves fiber handwork. AFS has a couple of sewing machines, small looms, and hand tools available but please feel free to bring your own!

No weaving experience is necessary! You will be making a Rag Rug using recycled fabric. Many colors and designs of fabrics will be available for you to choose from. The looms are dressed and ready to go: all you need to do is bring your creative spirit and you will leave with a finished one-of-a-kind rug that you have designed and woven yourself. Your rug will be 24? wide and can be up to 45? long.

In this class you will design an item of your choosing (scarf, table runner, place mats, etc.) and go through the entire process to create it on a floor loom using the twill structure. Guidance from the instructor will be provided as needed. This class will include instruction on winding a warp with two threads at a time and weaving with two shuttles. Many fiber options and color choices will be available.

The goal of this course is to apply our basic embroidery skills to embellish a recycled piece of apparel. This could include any item of clothing, tea towels, pillowcases or any other item that could use a freshening-up. It is recommended that students have some experience with embroidery basics. Students should bring an item of clothing or other fabric item to embroider.

Combining the Accuquilt system with fusible wonder-under takes the fuss out of creating an applique design. Janet will have several dies for students to use to create an applique basic of your own design. This is a wonderful project to use those smaller pieces of cherished quilt "scraps" that you just can't part with!

This weave structure creates a light and airy scarf that is perfect for late spring evenings through the early fall crisp days. It is also a wonderful four-season accessory to add color to your outfits. You will complete a 54" scarf with fringe.

This is another class that lets you reuse and save! In this class you will create several cloth towels, the size of a paper towel. They can be snapped together and placed on a roll to be ready when you need one. Wash and dry and replace on the roll. Pair this class with Janet?s Cloth Napkins class on August 12 and have a coordinating look in your kitchen!
