Unleash Your Inner Sole Artist: Quilted Sneaker Class
Are you ready to step up your style game and turn your feet into walking works of art? Join us for our 2 Day Quilted Sneaker class, where we'll show you how to create a one-of-a-kind, quilted masterpiece!
Get ready to mix, match, and mash up your favorite fabrics, colors, and patterns to create a pair of sneakers that will have everyone doing a double-take.
You pick the fabric and the design - low-top, mid-top or high-top sneaker. We will provide the Sneaker Kit and use of tools for the class. You bring your sewing supplies and your fabric.
Please be aware: we must order shoe bases by January 5 at the latest. The shoe bases are sourced from Germany and may take 8-10 weeks for delivery. Therefore, it is essential to register for the class and provide your shoe size so we can pre-order your shoe base promptly.
Due to the specific requirements and the time needed to obtain the shoe bases, there will be no refunds for this class. Please refrain from signing up unless you are certain you can attend.
Shoe bases are European sizes and run slightly large. See chart below for sizing. Check your size carefully.
We will provide pattern in your size, shoe base kit with insole, grommets, hand sewing needle for waxed thread, waxed thread and use of instructor’s tools.
