The flyer above was designed by Ariel Taylor, PhillyCAM's Youth Media Manager.

Laurel was really impressed with the PhillyCAM staff at the Hometown Media Awards in June. They started talking, found they had goals in common, and now PhillyCAM has a go-to sewing teacher.

Fabric Roses: DIY Fashion Workshop
Saturday, November 11 @ PhillyCAM
12:00 - 4:00 PM

We are excited to offer this unique (non-media) workshop with PhillyCAM Producer Laurel Hoffmann!

She will bring some of the basic skills from her award-winning series Creating Fashion with Laurel to PhillyCAM to help members of all ages design a unique fabric rose just in time for the holidays!

We will make roses out of fabric. It’s all handwork, eliminating the need for machinery. The results are stunning. Then, safely pin the finished flowers into a jacket, coat, or outer garment. We will provide all materials, as well as some snacks and warm beverages!

Skills learned: marking and cutting fabric on the bias, hand stitching, and gathering.
