Fabric Design

Do you have a favorite handwritten recipe card in your collection? Make your own keepsake tea towel by scanning your grandmother's handwritten recipe card and learning how to scale it up to fill a fat quarter of fabric. See how to upload and digitally print it on to linen-cotton fabric with Spoonflower to make a one-of-a-kind tea towel. No fabric design experience necessary, but you should be comfortable with basic computer skills like opening and saving a file, copy/paste, and navigating in a web browser. This class will be presented as a Zoom demo/webinar with detailed live Q&A. Because it is not feasible to complete a project on your computer while simultaneously watching a Zoom presentation, you will complete this project on your own after class has ended. You do not need any special software or equipment for this class; all parts of the project can be completed using your own computer and basic web browser. You will need access to a scanner or basic camera (point and shoot or phone camera) to complete the project. Skill level: Beginner. Register Here.
