Do you a learn best in a hands-on workshop? If so, you may be wondering what it’s like to attend a workshop with Donna Cash. Photos are worth a thousand words, so let me show you a few.
A lot of laughter and forming of friendships at a recent hands-on pillow workshop in Maine.
The students are proud of their creations they learned to make in the pillow class.
Whether you are an advanced sewer or have never sewn before like Tamara, you will leave with a new confidence so you can build your business or your sewing skills.
Fabric origami pillow fronts were taught by Donna and fabricated by the students.
Multiple pillow styles, embellished with trims, texture, and zippers of course! All completed in a 3-day, hands-on pillow workshop.
Can you see the joy on their faces? These students accomplished many pillow styles, zipper techniques, and formed friendships along the way during the hands-on pillow workshop.
The bound zipper is a popular zipper technique I love to teach. It looks intimidating to some, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll love adding it to pillows, duvet covers, and who knows what else? I think it would be a great embellishment on a cornice board. What do you think?
A bound zipper is a dressmaker detail you can use on pillows, duvet covers, and maybe even on a cornice board!
