Description
Mushroom species are mystically diverse, offering a wonder of shapes, colors, and textures to spark the visual imagination. Join us as we explore our creative potential. Debbie will present appliqué and embroidery to stitch an original magic mushroom patch.
We’ll learn basic embroidery stitches and a simple appliqué technique. A wide selection of fabric and embroidery thread will be available, as well as pattern pieces and sewing notions.
You can choose which mushroom pattern you want to work on and change the colors and fabrics as you desire.
Debbie will bring books on mushrooms, nature and stitching history if you wish to explore future possibilities.
These delightful little patches can be applied to clothing or added to other sewing projects you might have in the works!
