Create your own holiday-themed aprons using festive fabrics, ribbons, fabric paint, appliqués, and other decorative materials. Some parts will be pre-sewn and pre-cut for time-saving and ease.
This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to explore their creativity, learn simple sewing or decorating techniques, and create something practical that they can use during the holiday season or give as a personalized gift.
Cost: $25 for nonmembers; $10 for members with code SEW15.
Meet your instructor: KELLIE TEAL
Kellie Teal has been sewing since she was eight years old, when her grandmother gave her a battery-operated sewing machine and access to a treasured scrap box. She began by making (very primitive!) Barbie clothes for herself and her sister, but even then, their dolls had custom style.
Over the years, Kellie has sewn just about everything imaginable, from golf bags and evening wear to lingerie and everyday alterations. Her specialty and favorite work is gown alterations, particularly bridal and prom dresses. She loves the moment a client looks in the mirror and sees a dress that fits perfectly. That smile is the best part.
Kellie has likely altered enough bridal and prom gowns to fill a dump truck and takes pride in helping people feel confident and beautiful for life’s biggest moments.
A MadJax member, Kellie is passionate about sharing her talents and helping keep sewing alive as both a practical skill and creative art form. She especially enjoys transforming something old into something new, whether that means tailoring a garment for a flawless fit or completely reimagining it into something entirely different.
