Creating Hexagons Using Different Shapes

Skill level: This class is for EPP beginners, and a little handwork experience will be helpful.
Class length: 3 hours
Class available as Live or Virtual

Michele will discuss and demonstrate the basics of EPP including various types of templates and stitches used; hand or glue baste; plus fabric, thread and tools used. She will teach you how to create these individual basic shapes: hexagon, half hexagon, triangle, jewel and diamond; and then how to sew these shapes together to make 3 different hexagons. A short power point program on what you can make and do with these EPP shapes will also be presented for inspiration.

For Project 1, you will learn how to create 6 half hexagons, and sew them together with a center hexagon to create a larger hexagon.
For Project 2, Michele will teach you how to sew 3 hexagons, and 3 diamonds so they will be a large hexagon then are sewn together.
For Project 3, you will create 6 jewel shapes that are sewn together with a center hexagon; and when 6 triangles are added, it will create a larger hexagon.
