Get introduced to 3D printing in this 2-hour session. You'll get to see BARN's printers and gain an understanding of how they work and what they can make.

You will see a computer file get readied for printing in a process called "slicing."

You'll see the different printers we have and learn about filament, the material 3D printers use to make prints. We'll start a print and you'll see the printer print.

3D printing has many uses, ranging from practical to fun, such as replacement parts, mold-making, medical models used in surgery, prototypes and more.

Bring your curiosity and questions. You can continue to use the 3D printers at Open Studio where a studio monitor or other member can help you.

Take your creative expression to new heights in this BARN exclusive online class. You will use the fabric piecing principles of Boro, a traditional Japanese mending and quilting technique, and associated Sashiko hand embroidery skills to elevate a stack of everyday scraps into rich one-of-a-kind textiles that will beautifully adorn your home as a one-of-a-kind art piece. Join internationally renowned instructors Shannon & Jason Mullett-Bowlsby and explore the exciting Japanese textile art of Boro!

Beginners encouraged – No experience necessary!

Recycling, repairing, and reworking textiles using Boro and Sashiko is perfect for the maker who is ready to try something new and exciting. Even if you have never done any hand sewing and never fused two pieces of fabric together with a needle and thread, this class is for you! If you’ve wanted to try quilting but were intimidated by stodgy traditional techniques, you’re going to love this class.

We’ll use Boro techniques to create a whole new panel of unique fabric from seemingly unusable remnants and odd pieces. In just a week, you’ll have a stunning new fabric that you can use by itself to enhance your home décor or use as the basis for a larger project like a quilt top, tote, or throw.

Want to make your reworked fabric even more special? Use an old shirt, a pair of jeans, old ties, or favorite fabric remnants, and we will work them into your design! Any fabric will do. Woven fabrics, pieces of lace, crocheted or knitted motifs… bring it on!

Join us and reignite your creativity—one stitch at a time.

What to bring to class:

Fabric scissors
Pencil and pen
Washable fabric pen/pencil
Ruler
Fabric pieces or scraps for cutting up and sewing into patches for your wall hanging. We recommend cottons, linen, light denim… the more random the better. Get as fancy or plain as you like!

For this Boro Wall Hanging class you will need a basic Sashiko kit with needle, thread, and thimble; some kind of base fabric (simple cotton or muslin) at least 12” square but rectangular shapes work great too; and scraps of fabric you love. We recommend a few fat quarters with patterns and colors.

The Shibaguyz have an optional kit with the tools and the base fabric available on their website. Please be sure to allow enough time to order and receive this kit before the class begins.

Kit Includes:

Wall Hanging Base fabric
Clover Adjustable Ring Thimble with Plate - Item #611
Sashiko Needles Long Type - Item #2009
White Marking Pen - Item # 517
Aurifil 12 Weight Cotton Thread - 2 Colors
Glue Stick

Sew some samples for success and be ready to make any tailored wool jacket or coat!

Baffled by bound buttonholes? Freaked out by welt pockets? Take the mystery out of tailoring and practice solid tailoring techniques like welt pockets, sleeve vents, and more … including bound buttonholes. You’ll learn to work with horsehair, establish lapel roll lines, and “bag the lining” for an all-in-one way to finish any lined garment.

We’ll work together on full-size samples. During class, you can sew along with Leah, or you can watch the class and sew samples later. In the end, you’ll have built a reference library of techniques—and built your confidence—so you can apply these techniques to any wool jacket or coat pattern.

You will need to order a kit/pattern from the instructor by clicking here. This kit will be available after January 20th and will be $10 payable directly to the instructor on her website.

Can’t attend at the scheduled times? No worries! This class will be recorded and available to all who register, so you can watch on your own schedule, as many times as you like.

Students should have on hand:

100% wool fabric, approximately 1 yard long by ~ 60” wide. Ugly fabric works great, and 12”-x-12” swatches work great, too (check fabric store remnant sections for inexpensive wool)
1 yard of lining fabric (thin, woven, and slippery, Bemberg rayon is widely available and inexpensive)
1 yard of horsehair fusible interfacing: available at Esther’s Fabrics on Bainbridge Island, or order online at www.fashionsewingsupply.com
1 yard of medium-weight fusible interfacing: available at Esther’s Fabrics on Bainbridge or online at www.fashionsewingsupply.com
freezer paper, to be used for pattern paper: available in most hardware stores or well-stocked grocery stores (check the canning/freezing section)
fabric marking pens or chalk or a sliver of soap—something you can see on your wool fabric
typical sewing notions such as scissors, rotary cutter, pins, and seam ripper
your steam iron and ironing board
your sewing machine, threaded with garment-weight thread that contrasts with your fabric
