BEGINNER SEWING - CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Handcrafted memories are the best memories. Bring a friend or family member and make a unique xmas stocking that you can use every year for the holidays. This fun workshop is a great opportunity to learn or practice basic sewing skills, to (possibly) use a serger, and play around with colour and design to make your own rustic-style Christmas stocking. GB Arts has a huge inventory of fabrics and notions to play with, or bring your own! All materials and sergers provided. Bring your own sewing machine or let us know in the comments section if you would like to borrow one from GB Arts. DATES & TIMES Sun Nov. 24th 1:00m to 3:00pm YOUR TUTOR Patricia Campbell.
