Heirloom techniques don't have to be frilly, they can be modern too. This guest towel uses heirloom techniques, and although the chevron pattern itself dates way back to Ancient Greece 1800 BCE, its dramatic use of a chevron Madeira appliqué hem gives it a truly modern edge. The gimp* work, a time-honored heirloom technique, is sewn in a modern way as well. You'll learn in class how to match the gimp work and decorative stitching perfectly to the chevron hem points. You'll never be afraid of matching points again.
*Never heard of gimp work? Attend the class – we'll have plenty of it..
