Developing Designs: Planning Colors, Stitches, and Fabric

Ever walk into Approved Textiles and feel completely overwhelmed by how much there is to take in? You’re not alone—and this workshop is for you.

We’ll cover the very basics: how to start thinking about fabric types, why some color combos just work, and what makes certain materials feel right for different styles or uses. Whether you’re sewing, mending, designing, or just fabric-curious, this is a no-pressure way to get your bearings and feel more confident navigating our shelves (or any fabric store, really).

You don’t need any experience—just bring your curiosity and maybe a notebook. We’ll handle the rest.
