This is not a structured class with a timetable & a set finished product... more of a chance for you to experiment & 'play' with threads, fabrics, beads, buttons, hand made silk paper, rust dyed fabric, stamped fabrics etc.... Forget about perfection - Put your inner critic on mute.... Enjoy the journey & the process of slow stitching.... Trudy & Christine will guide you & show you how to create your own stitched works!
