Class Descriptions
LOOK AT THESE ALL NEW, EXCITING PROJECTS FOR 2008:
Sulky Fiber Bubbles Scarf
Using elegant silk dupioni and shimmer organza, create a magnificent scarf for dressing up a casual outfit or turning anything into nighttime chic! This fun and easy technique is adaptable to clothing, ready-to-wear, home-dec and more. It is a terrific way to fall in love with elegant fabrics. Diane Gloystein, Free-lance Sulky National Educator, and an invited Bernina Fashion Show Designer, developed the technique for 2008.
Sulky Salmon Water Bottle Holder
It seems like everyone is carrying around a bottle of water these days, but how many are doing it with "style"?! This thirsty fish will make it fun and fashionable to have a bottle of water with you at all times. Think how much the young people in your family would love to have one of these! Not only is it practical because of the convenient strap and insulated body, it is really cute! This project is based on a pattern designed by Lee Fletcher, Sulky Freelance National Educator.
Sulky Mystery Puzzle Tote
There is nothing more fun than creating something that puzzles everyone. How did she do that? This fun technique can be used on any garment, home-dec item, and more.
Designed by Ellen Osten, National Education Coordinator for Sulky, Ellen incorporates all kinds of hints and tips to make this special. Filled with pockets and a unique way to turn this tote, you'll be making dozens of these for friends who will beg you to teach them how to do it.
Pizzazz Pedestal Pot
Corded bowls are not new, but Pat Rodgers, Freelance National Educator for Sulky, sure has made this one unique. With Pat's trademark flair for pizzazz - she decorates this bowl with threads and her famous "hangie-downy's"! This pedestal based bowl can be both elegant and casual. But either way it is so much fun to make. People will not believe this piece of art was created on your sewing machine.
Chenille America Flag Pillow
This patriotic pillow incorporates many techniques that make it fun and dimensional. The white stripes and blue stars areas are chenille, which add dimension and softness, and the writing is done with a machine-fed stitch (not free-motion) - the perfect message in support of our country. (Traditional chenille making will also be taught.)
Sulky Sewing Companion Caddy
Our last project is still in prototype format, awaiting the arrival of the new Michael Miller fabric chosen for Certification Training, but we knew you'd want to see it now!
 The caddy is designed to hold all of your sewing essentials to take to class or to keep by your machine. The cover design is embellished with a Sulky "Puffy Foam Picket Fence" along with bar-tack flowers and decorative stitching. This project is based on a pattern designed by Lee Fletcher, Sulky Freelance National Educator.
