In this brainstorming class, we will discuss all aspects of stitching stockings cuffs and alphabets, Santas, trees, leaves, presents, details, backgrounds and more. The booklet provided will provide a selection of stitches customarily used and we will make up more in class! Show and tell is an integral part of this class. This class will not result in a stitch guide for the student; rather, it will teach the students how to go about writing their own stitch guides as well as inspiring them to get started and get finished with that stocking! | |
