This is a live zoom class that is at 6.30-8.30pm UK Time on Thursday 30th November.
This course is about free-machine embroidering on organza and creating either a holly or mistletoe decoration.
On this relaxed zoom session I will show you how to create your mistletoe or holly decoration by sewing on organza fabric. The berries are represented with small bells or pom poms.
**You will need an 18w craft soldering iron. I buy mine from Margaret Beal at www.fusingfabric.co.uk. I like using the angled tip and if you have been to my classes, you will have used an angled tip. Please let Margaret know if you would prefer an angled tip when you order. **
The class will have a maximum of 10 participants.
There will be a comfort break during the class
You are able to view the requirements list before you purchase a place.
When you purchase a place on this zoom class you will receive the pattern, details of the materials that you will have to get for the workshop and any preparation that you will need to do before the class. It is emailed to you immediately. It is in a PDF format and you will need to be able to print off patterns.
