Historically pockets were an accessory that women from 1600 through the early 1900s wore independent of their clothing. In these pockets they carried all kinds of things…pencils, thimbles, keys, pictures and more. In this workshop participants will create a fabric pocket that can be tied around their waists to carry a variety of today’s useful objects such as money, a small notebook, even a cell phone! With a kit of fabrics, ribbon, threads and embellishments and using hand sewing and simple embroidery techniques they will individualize their pocket the way our female ancestors did. Each kit contains items that will make the pocket unique. Simple hand sewing will make it personal just as individual stitches personalize a quilt or a mended garment. Join me for this in-person workshop at Massillon Museum in Massillon OH. Saturday May 15, 2021. 1:00-4:00 PM $17 for members, $20 for all others. Kit included in the cost! Masking and social distancing protocols will be employed. Space is limited. Visit www.massillonmuseum.org to register or call 330-838-4061 I hope to see you there! It is so good to be able to teach in person again! Clare |
