Pam's classes at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival:

Roman Shade Basics
525-Friday, August 20, 2010 – 10:15 am – 11:15 am
Class fee: $10
You may know the basics on Roman Shades or you’ve seen them and have an idea of how they work, but do you know about all the design and fabrication options? There are many ways to customize your Romans to make them yours. Join Pam for a lecture/demonstration on Roman Shade construction, including assorted styles, types, and embellishments. You will see flat, hobbled, relaxed, bottoms-up and arch-top of Roman Shades.

Running With Scissors
530-Friday, August 20, 2010 – 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm
Class fee: $10
Yes, this is what your mother told you never to do! If you’re still cutting with the same pair of scissors you had in high school, if your seam ripper is from junior high home-ec class, of if you’re still using the same sewing tools you’ve had for years, it’s time to see what the new products are, how to care for them and what to look for in quality sewing tools. Learn the proper way to cut with scissors, how to hold a rotary cutter, which end of a seam ripper is up, and which iron is best for you. Pam will show some of the latest gizmos, gadgets and gotta-haves for sewing. The right tools for the job can make all the difference in our sewing enjoyment, so if you haven’t updated your “tool box” lately or you’re new to sewing and want to make the right purchases then this is for you!

Slipcovering Basics
625-Saturday, August 21, 2010 – 2:45 pm – 3:45 pm
Class fee: $10
Before you begin your project, you’ll need to determine whether it is a good candidate for a slipcover or is upholstery the best way to go? And once you’ve determined the best method, how will you choose the right fabric? When do you use companion fabrics or purchased trims? Learn the do’s and don’t of slipcovers before you tackle your project from someone who has been making slipcovers for over 25 years.

It’s Yappy Hour

Americans spent 4.3 billion dollars on their pets last year; doubling the amount they spent the previous year. Pet boutiques sell pet vests, jackets, collars, harnesses, beds, and other accessories for big bucks. They take very little fabric and are so much fun to make. Learn how to create these practical and fashionable accessories for your favorite four legged friends, learn about pet clothing software, and see a pet fashion show. Doesn’t your pet deserve to know what the best dressed are wearing this year?
