Finally, after selling a house and moving the studio, I’m able to begin classes. First up will be trim classes via Zoom. The classes are recorded and available for you to download and rewatch as often as you like.
There will be a basic class offered on June 21. This class is wonderful if you’ve never done one of my trim classes. We will cover basic techniques I use to create custom trims which will coordinate with your fabric.
I will also be offering an advanced trim class on June 28. This class is best for those who are familiar with basic crochet stitches and have experimented with a few trims. We will be using higher quality fabrics, textured yarns plus pearls, rhinestones and more complex methods.

The kits are available with and without crochet hooks. If you already have hooks in sizes C, D, E and F then be sure and order the kit without hooks. The kits are optional. If you have a selection of yarns in your stash, you can certainly use them. If you would prefer to follow along using the same materials I’ll be using, then a kit would be best. The Trim Tubes are used in many of the trims but aren’t an absolute necessity. You can always take the class and decide if the Tubes are something you would use.
If anyone is near London early May, I’ll be teaching an in-person class at Claire Tyler’s studio in Midhurst May 1 and May 2. For additional details and to register, this is the link to Claire’s site: Create Custom Couture Trim with Mary Funt – 1st & 2nd May 2025
-Additional classes are being planned: additional Zoom workshops, in-person at Mendel Goldberg Fabrics, NYC as well as Florida. Hope to see you soon.
