In this month’s Twelve Months of Gifts class, we’re sewing up something functional, fun, and flexible—a quilted DIY Mixer Cover that fits standard stand mixers or sewing machines! This project is perfect for holiday gifting, kitchen upgrades, or sewing space beautification.

You'll learn how to:

• Work with pre-quilted or quilt-as-you-go fabric

• Construct curved seams

• Add pocket panels with custom binding

• Choose and modify dimensions to fit your mixer or machine

Make it match your kitchen, sewing space, or your best friend’s favorite colors—either way, it’s a beautiful and useful project you’ll be proud to gift or keep!

This class includes the original pattern and step-by-step instruction. Additional options for XL sizes and custom machine fitting will be discussed during class.

Twelve Months of Gifts Make and Take Classes

Have you ever said, "I'm going to make everyone's gifts this year!" — and then the holiday season arrives, and you haven't started?
The panic sets in. You stay up late racing to finish... or you hit the stores and buy instead.

Or maybe you've been invited to an event and wished you had a homemade gift ready to share?

Fear no more!
Join us and conquer the procrastination — make gifts all year long!

Join us for one month, all twelve, or as many as you can!
Special Offer: Take 5 classes in the series and your 6th class is free!

Each session, you'll learn an easy-to-make, giftable project. You'll leave with a completed project and the skills and knowledge to make many more before the holidays arrive!
Use them for December celebrations — or for birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, teacher gifts, or just-because surprises all year long.

Included in Each Class:

• A brand new pattern

• Interfacings, stabilizers, snaps, and basic supplies

• Use of classroom thread, tools, and basic notions

• Optional additional kits to make even more gifts faster!
