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.
Great to have you back, Mary! I was just thinking about your jacket class and hoping you would offer them again soon so I can take a refresher! Maybe even an unfinished projects from one of your prior classes to get us inspired to finish?
Thank you. More classes coming.
I’m so glad that you are back and look forward to the trim class!
Ah, are you back in London / the UK anytime soon? I would’ve loved the 2 day workshop but sadly it’s my dad’s 70th birthday on the 1st of May
Not sure when I’ll return to the UK. I combined this class with another trip.
Bonjour Mary. I so enjoyed the Midhurst trim class. I would very much like to take the jacket class and hope you will be able to follow through on your plans to teach in Seattle. I was a pleasure to meet and work with you. I learned a lot and everyone is so impressed with my photos of your work. I even created a sample that I like and I can’t seem to duplicate it . Oh well.
Merci beaucoup
Sandra
Wonderful to meet you and hopefully see you in Seattle. Send me a photo of your trim plus what’s wrong and I’ll try and solve it.
