Lakeland – Florida February 23-25, 2012

by on February 17, 2012

Plan to attend the 2nd year of the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Lakeland, Florida.  We will be there with some new classes, plus the Day Before Barb Originals will be teaching the Dream Coat Class.

It’s green, it’s fun and it’s oh, so great to wear! Choose your color palette and learn how to use a variety of knits and woven fabrics to create this wondrous coat of color hues….discover innovative fitting techniques, discuss closure options and then begin your artistic journey. Once your decisions are made, serge it all together and float out of class in your new coat.
