Online Workshop—Robyn Spady—Closure Ideas for Garments without Invasive Buttonholes
Making a buttonhole can be daunting since it often means putting a hole in a garment or fashion accessory.
In this class, participants will explore different techniques that may be used to secure a garment or fashion
accessory. From frogs and hand-wrapped hooks and eyes, to knotting and clasps, designing and making your own
closures can be fun and exciting.
Instructor Bio: Robyn Spady was introduced to handweaving as a baby with a handwoven baby blanket woven by
her great-grandmother and learned to weave at a young age. She has been weaving for over 50 years and completed
HGA's Certificate of Excellence in Handweaving (COE-W) in 2004 with the specialized study Loom-controlled
Stitched Double Cloth. Robyn is fascinated by the infinite possibilities of crossing threads and loves
coming up with new ideas to create fabric and transform it into something new and exciting. She is also the
founder and editor of Heddlecraft® magazine.
Cost: Members $35.00, Non-members $45.00
Please email Claudia Gibson at ccgmpcr@gmail.com to let her know if you'll be attending this workshop.
