You don't need the pattern to make the simplest version. The pouches make great gifts. The zipper application technique is something you can use on other zippered bags. She'll show a binding technique for the seam allowances which give a finished look to the pouch.
Apr 21: Fabric Flowers with Evelyn P. She demonstrated her techniques for making fabric flowers in many applications – jewelry, hair accessories, adorning purses, shirts, and home decorations and has provided a image of patterns for your use.
“There are a lot of different ways to make fabric flowers and I have tried many of them. This one is my favorite. To make these flowers you first need to make fabric sandwiches. Any scrap fabric will do but you need fabric bond to put in between the front and back piece of fabric....that makes your sandwich! Then you can cut out your flower pieces and construct your flower, Evelyn”

Sep 15: Kraft-Tex Paper-Fabric demonstration with Jann
Jann Silverton will be presenting projects made with Kraft-Tex.
Per Jann, "Kraft-Tex is a fun, fairly new paper-fabric that cuts and sews like cloth!
In addition to a presentation, I hope we’ll have time to sew some
simple woven coasters.
You’ll need some Kraft-Tex (an 8.5”x11” sample pack would be good),
and a #70 needle (#80 will work).
And Kraft-Tex is absorbent, not waterproof so you can back the
coasters with clear iron-on vinyl or adhere a cork backing with Steam-A-
Seam 2… or any other non-absorbent material you have on hand.
To get Kraft-Tex shipped quickly probably use Amazon.
Etsy, Joann.com and C&T Publishing also sell it online, but probably do
not ship quickly.
Michael’s and Hobby Lobby do not sell Kraft-Tex.
I highly recommend buying the dyed pre-washed in general. But for
coasters it doesn’t matter."
