This is a great workshop. You will have your choice of 28 thread linen or 14 count aida and Susan will mail you fabric, pattern and threads!!!

In class you will finish this fall fantastic on an easel stand! (You could change out the piece for different holidays if you want.) Susan will show some other finishing “pasties” as well.

Class #2

Fun with Waste Canvas

Cost – $25

Susan has these great little pouches that you will work with waste canvas to do the word “stitch”.

You will work with perle coton and in case you are not thrilled with the color I supply, you can feel free bring your own #8 perle coton.

You that you will love the way Susan does it….correct needle, correct products and correct taking away for a smooth finish.

She did 24 mini sweatshirts one year, for grand babies of friends! Many of them are now grown up and made them into pillows!!!!!

SEW MUCH CREATIVITY CAN BE DONE WITH WASTE CANVAS!
