What to Bring:
An 8 x 10" black and white copy of your pet’s portrait (head and shoulders work best)
Any colorful, patterned fabric scraps you’d like to incorporate (optional materials will also be provided)
Bring your beloved pet to life in a whole new way! In this hands-on workshop, you'll create a unique portrait of your furry friend using colorful patterned fabrics, bold shapes, and creative layering techniques. No sewing experience needed, just bring a photo of your pet and your imagination. You'll learn how to:
Break down an image into simple shapes
Choose and combine fabric patterns and textures
Assemble your portrait using glue or basic stitching techniques
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a personalized, fabric-based portrait that captures your pet's personality and charm.
