Friday night Sue led a sew along at
Artistic Artifacts to make a fat quarter (small size) Pop-Up container. Pop-ups are the creation of Joanne Hillestead, AKA
The Fat Quarter Gypsy.
These collapsible containers are great catch-alls in the studio or to carry along to workshops.
Everyone completed their pop-up, with a few "lessons learned" for next time. Such as, don't forget to cut the tape on the wire before you stitch the bottom on! Oops! (Guess who - yes, teachers make mistakes too!)
The finished work....ta da!
Patterns are also available for medium, large and extra large pop-ups, though the construction method differs somewhat from the small size. There are also pop-up partners - designers who have adapted their pieced patterns to fit various size pop-ups. Check out
The Fat Quarter Gypsy site for examples and ideas.
