Stool Covers Tufting Class

Bring some color and character into your home decor with this tufting class in Seattle! What Seattle apartment doesn't have a smattering of boring stools lined up in front of your kitchen counter? Let's see if we can't liven them up a bit, shall we?It's time to learn to tuft! We'll spend the afternoon shooting yarn out of a gun and into fabric to create some amazing tufted covers to customize your previously boring stools.We provide frames, fabric, yarn, and tufting guns for you, all you need to provide is your design idea. This class is B.Y.O.S. - Bring Your Own Stool since we assume you've got one or two kicking around the house. This will work best on a flat, round, wooden stool.Since this is a beginner class, we will focus on getting comfortable using the tufting gun. You will receive support throughout the workshop so you can feel comfortable and confident through each step. We will use wool yarn and the loop pile setting so the piece you make will stand the test of time. We will have yarn available for you, but if you would like to use something specific, you are welcome to bring size four worsted-weight yarn.You will use a frame with approximately 26 x 26 inches of workable area. Depending on the size or your stool, this big canvas, might allow you to make more than one stool cover. You will have time to glue and finish your pieces in class, so they are ready for use. You may need to return to staple the covering onto your stool once the glue dries or complete that part at home.If your stool is large, you may not complete your rug during this class. All class attendees also receive a coupon for 100% off a ticket to our monthly open tufting studio session. That's three additional hours of tufting that you can use to either finish your project from class or start something new. We're concerned about your little hands and how they'll react to you gripping a power tool for multiple hours in a row. It's best to split up large projects to prevent injuries.If you're looking for unique experience gift ideas, a chance to craft your own tufted rug will make for an unforgettable creative day. This craft workshop also makes for fun date ideas, birthday parties, and more! A day spent crafting is a day well spent!Please note
