Making Fabric Embellishments

Service Description

Wednesday's, April 10 & 17 10 am to noon Suggested donation $20 plus a $10 materials fee After her very exciting hat making class in March, Peggy Juve has consented to continue teaching us ways to make hats and clothing unique and beautiful This class is for people who have a basic understanding of sewing and associated techniques. We will work with both cotton and silk to create embellishments--flowers, leaves, and other forms, which you can use on hats, to make decorative pins, and add a creative touch to your clothing. Bring your imagination and a pair of shears and we will all be mad hatters together!
