Knit Ensemble Workshop (Deposit Only)
KEWCLE2023
Join Linda and Alex for a 3 day event in Ohio! Alex & Linda will be hosting a Knit Ensemble workshop in a lovely Brunswick, Ohio venue where you will create your own custom knit ensemble featuring two Sewing Workshop patterns: The eTee and the Helix pants. Both of these patterns are perfect for those that are interested in expanding their skills & confidence with knit fabric. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to try on samples of each pattern to ensure the right fit for your preference! Enjoy three full days of unhindered sewing, instruction and technique mastery alongside other sewing enthusiasts. Participants will sew at their own pace, creating the projects at their desired speed. Leave with finished garments or with the confidence to complete them at home. Evenings are unscheduled so that you are able to roam the inspiring Cleveland or surrounding area, enjoying dinners or visiting local sites & favorite spots recommended by a Cleveland-loving local, Alex.
