The stitched fabric bowls you'll learn to make in this class are created entirely from fabric scraps and strips, plus thread. You'll find each bowl to be uniquely different, as they each take on a life of their own. These vessels are built through texture-rich layers of fabric and stitching, resulting in an organic, sculptural feel. They're the perfect project when you want to create something aesthetically beautiful but extremely functional at the same time.

FAQ:
Q: Do I need stitching experience?
A: Nope! BB will guide you through every step.
Q: Do I need a sewing machine?
A: Nope! This project is done entirely with hand stitching.
Q: What if I don't have a lot of fabric?
A: You don't need a lot, and you don't need anything fancy! Take a look around your house and see what you can repurpose, think: kitchen tea towels, bedsheets, old clothes... Once you start thinking about fabric in this way, you'll start seeing possibilities everywhere!
Q: What kind of fabric works best for this project?
A: BB prefers fabrics with a looser weave, simply because it's the easiest to stitch through.
