#WestbrookME - Protest Patches with Claire + Carly
May 31, 2026, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
#PastAndFutureCraft
506 Main St #18
Westbrook, ME 04092, USA"Let's channel the rebellious 60's and 70's by making a protest patch using groovy fabric scraps. Learn two different machine applique techniques. We'll use reverse applique to create a layer fabric image. Text will be added using double sided interfacing and friction pens. The patch makes a perfect pocket or patch for a mended pair of jeans. We'll have interfacing, pens and a heaping basket of fabric scraps but feel free to contribute your own scraps. This is a great scrap busting project and the more scraps the merrier.
Prerequisites: Some machine sewing experience is helpful, such as Sewing Machine Basics with Jo.
Class date: Sunday, May 31st, 10:30am - 12:30pm
Location: 506 Main Street Unit 18 Westbrook Maine. Free parking available on-site. Accessible entrance and restrooms.
Cost: $45 per person. Scholarships are available; apply here.
Supplies Needed: All supplies will be provided. Some designs will be available to use, but you are welcome to bring your own designs…"

About the event
"Did you get an embroidery kit as a gift? No idea how to start the thing, but you’d like to? Did you buy a cute embroidery kit and are a little trepidatious about starting it? Maybe your aunt taught you a little about embroidery when you were 10, but now you are 40 and the stitches didn’t just come back to you? Or maybe you have seen a cute embroidery kit at Past and Future Crafts that you would LOVE to buy, but you have no idea how to get started?
And then you see that all the 'Learn embroidery classes' require you to buy their kit and materials?
Never fear! Tree Heckler is here to help! Dig that thing out of the closet, the junk drawer, or wherever you stashed it. Bring it to this class!
This class is for learning freestyle, crewel work, or cross stitch embroidery ONLY.…"
