I love giving lectures and doing all-day workshops! I live in Chicago, Illinois. I have a calm nature and can teach my patterns to a range of sewing skills, even those that have never sewn a bag before. Here is some basic information for shops and guilds.
Please contact me with any special requests. [email protected]
TRUNK SHOW/INTERFACING LECTURE INFORMATION:
Cost: $500
Length: 1 hour
• 1-2 tables to be available for materials and trunk show
• I will provide one interfacing charm pack (11 interfacings) for each person attending, as well as a handout
• books and patterns will be available for purchase (unless at a shop, in that case you may sell your own stock)
WORKSHOP INFORMATION:
Cost: $1000
You may choose any bag pattern
Length: 7 hours, with break for lunch
Workshops are designed for groups of 20 or less students. If the facility allows for more students, this can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
The students will be provided with the pdf sewing pattern by Sara Lawson free of charge
IMPORTANT – students will be required to cut fabric and fuse/baste their interfacing before coming to class
Physical Requirements:
• 1 table for teaching materials
• Half a table of workspace for each student
• At least 2 irons and ironing stations, electrical cords and extensions, and outlet strips
Events will be asked to pay mileage or hotel/airfare where applicable.
Sara, will you be teaching in Houston? I am attending this year, and taking one of your classes would certainly be a highlight!
I am trying to order the Aragon Bag pattern however I am locked out of my account. Can you please reset so I can order the bag pattern. Thank You, Teresa
I am looking for the hobo pattern
Good for you! I wish I still lived out that way. Maybe you could sell video classes. I’m loving your site.
Hi, I am the program person for our quilt club in Steger, IL. Would you be available for a lecture in the evening on either March 9, June 8, or October 12, 2016? Thank you, Karen
Do you video ‘s on how to make bags?
Hi there, is there any possibilities of an online class for those of us O/S? I’d LOVE TO LEARN FROM YOU!!! Looking forward to hearing from you, Katie x
Can you sell your bags to Bermuda
I had trouble paying for my order, kept saying my card was not legal, finally went thru, just want to make sure my note did not get lost, for the free pattern, I wanted Appaloosa and sign my book to Zita
Is your Ultimate Art Organizer pattern available yet? Just found your website and love it. Signing up for your Craftsy class too.
I can’t wait to hear you at Prairie Star Quilt Guild tonight!
Hi Sara,
Do you have a waiting list for your September retreat in Chicago? How would I go about getting on that? So sad that I waited too long! Thanks!
