The in person workshops are a one-time, 4 hour session.  You will get the fish made and fused to your background fabric.  You can then take it home and do the hand stitching and finish it there.  If you need more help. We can schedule a second meeting for those who want it.

The embroidery can be as simple as you want, or more elaborate.  I will print up a guide to simple embroidery stitches.  I can demonstrate those to you.  And, we can meet a second class to embellish your fish.  It would take about 2 hours to finish the fish with a backing and a string for hanging.

What do you need tor bring?  Not much.  I’ll have a bin of fabric scraps, but, I am asking people to bring in fabric scraps, quilting weight, or the weight of a dress shirt, if it’s not quilting cotton.  And, cotton is the best fabric to use.  Then, if we want, we can share and swap scraps for the fish.  

What is included?

* Pattern, the original by Jane Haworth, and then my interpretation and method

* Paper backed fusible

* Blue Background fabric

* Piece of batting

* A variety of embroidery floss and Pearl cotton if you want to take a bit to do your hand sewn embellishments.  

* Lots of fun, and clear instruction.  I can’t help myself, I often changed what a pattern tells you to do.  Of course, it’s always for the better………”doncha” know?

* Bobbins the sewing school dog

* View of Chequamegon Bay (Lake Superior)

* Great sewing space

Cost of patterns, and supplies listed additional $25
