Christmas is coming to town.
Santa is peaking into the frosty window of our house that is surrounded by evergreen trees.
The golden stars are shining bright in the dark blue sky, bringing the Christmas spirit and joy into our life.
Using 7 different stitches ( French Knots, Eyelet Stitch, Smyrna Stitch, Elongated Smyrna Stitch, Satin Stitch, Continental Tent Stitch and Cross Stitch) the students will learn how to use silk gauze as a mini canvas. Students will try different cotton and silk floss of their choice. A stitched piece could be finished as a pillow, a canvas stretched on a needlework stand, or as a wall picture.
This fun workshop offers an additional pattern, materials and instructions on how to stitch and finish matching pair of Christmas slippers.
