Hand-stitch and Embroidery Intermediate

This is an opportunity for kids to create their own felt needle book, complete with their own embroidered design on the front and filled with sections to keep their needles, pins, small scissors, and other small crafty things tidy. We will use skills learned during the previous classes this year, and will build the students confidence in creating with the instruction of a teacher, as well as at home by themselves. 

Because we only have a six week term, it is possible that students may not complete their project, in which case Indi is more than happy to assist outside of class time so that each child goes home with their felt needle book!
