Make a beautiful sheer cotton scarf or shawl. This is easily stitched by a beginner. Because the focus is on the colour of the cheese-cloth and not the stitching, it is an excellent project for the beginner especially a beginner of free motion sewing. This item can be made by free motion or regular stitching, and both will be taught in the class. Finally you will be shown how to embellish the scarf.

This is a one week seminar of four hours. Cost $32.00
