About this Event

đź§µ Sewing Workshop: Scrappy Potholder
đź“… November 22nd | đź•“ 11am - 12pm
📍 Utility Works MakerSpace

Get ready to stitch up something both beautiful and practical! In this beginner-friendly sewing class, you’ll learn how to create your very own quilted microwave pot holders—perfect for warming up leftovers in style or gifting to a friend who loves a handmade touch.

Our instructor will walk you through the basics of quilting, layering fabric, and safe construction techniques for heat protection. You’ll learn how to measure, cut, and assemble your holder while exploring fun ways to mix patterns, colors, and textures.

✨ What to Expect:

  • Step-by-step instruction in a supportive, creative environment
  • Bring your own scraps or use some of ours. Heat resistant batting and denim backing included
  • Learn the basics of quilting and sewing machine use
  • Take home a finished pot holder—and the skills to make more!

No sewing experience required—just bring your curiosity and a love for cozy, handmade projects.
Space is limited, so grab your spot and come spend a warm, crafty afternoon sewing with us!
