Welcome to Strip Pieced Mariner’s Compasses! In this class, we will all make one compass together, step by step. If you are a quick worker, you might want to prepare fabric for 2 compasses. Class includes a Robin Ruth Skinny Robin Ruler, lunch and instruction. The ruler comes with a book with excellent instructions and diagrams and some projects.
