DIY Mounted Staghorn Ferns $32
|
 |
|
Wow, the name alone evokes leggy plants in compromising positions... but no, that is not the case! In DIY Mounted Staghorn Ferns, Matti Salomaki and Megan Speckmann of Far Out Flora fame (http://faroutflora.wordpress.com/) teach you how to mount a shade-loving epiphytic (means: grows without dirt) plant atop a piece of driftwood or refurbished wood. These magical beauties are more art than plant, evoking a pair of antlers....plant taxidermy anyone!?! You will leave with one mounted staghorn fern on wood AND a booklet on how to care for it.
supplies needed: Supplies needed: None, unless you have a very special piece of driftwood that’s been telling you it needs a plant attached to it.
teacher bios: Megan and Matti live way the heck out in Outer Sunset, next to Ocean Beach. Both are professional horticulturists, love succulents, bromeliads, carnivores…pretty much anything weird and bizarre that grows, and run the fantastic plant blog Far Out Flora. |

Rock-N-Roll Sewing For Beginners $34
|
|
|
|
Our favorite martha stewart meets alice cooper sewing class has gone CO-ED! Now guys and gals can learn the nuances of threading their bobbins to the tune of War Pigs and Iron Man! In this class, we will demystify the sewing machine and teach you what all of those crazy buttons, levers, and pedals can do! you will learn how to thread your machine, sew a straight stitch, and even make a very simply pattern by constructing your very own beer koozie. We’ll also show you how to create and sew a secret storage pocket into your pillowcase. A pocket for what? Extra lighters, secret stash, late night "protection", trapping the tooth fairy... the possibilities are truly endless!
This class teaches the same skills as Sewing 101. You will be ready to take Sewing 102 after this class.
supplies needed: bring a spare pillow case. also, if you have an old pair of jeans or flannels you’d like to donate for beer koozies material, please bring. (if you don’t have them, it’s cool, we have some. we just want you to be able to take some stuff home) |

Once you’ve taken Sewing 101 or Rock & Roll Sewing, you should be ready to take on our Sewing 102 class! We take the basic alteration techniques and put them to practice.

You will leave with the confidence to do alterations that won’t leave your clothing looking like it got tossed on stage during a GWAR concert.
prerequisite: Sewing 101, Rock & Roll Sewing or equivalent. (and by equivalent, we mean you already know how to use a sewing machine, wind thread around the bobbin, complete simple sewing projects w/ a machine.)
supplies needed: just bring in the simple alteration projects you’d like to work on if you want, though this is not required. scrap fabric is always welcome. |
