Quilted Sneaker Class (1 session)
We are so excited to bring this one-of-a-kind Quilted Sneaker class to Hermann! This class is so much FUN! Choose your fabric to match your personality and style. Then, in the full-day class, we’ll give you step-by-step instructions on how to cut and finish your quilted components, install eyelets, and attach your beautiful quilted uppers to high-quality sneaker soles. Items provided in the class include the pattern in your size, a shoe base kit with the insole, grommets, a hand sewing needle for waxed thread, waxed thread, and use of the instructor’s tools. Usually you have to pre-order the sneaker soles in advance but I do try to keep a small selection of the popular sizes. So reserve your spot TODAY!
Please make sure to bring a sack lunch and a drink.
Skill level: Intermediate
Cost: $140 ($65 of the class is non-refundable – usually you have to pre-order the sneaker soles in advance but I do try to keep a small selection of the popular sizes.
