Turn your "Spooky" stitching into a little drum box you'll display all season long. We'll build the purple drum, top it with a spiderweb pincushion lid, and finish it off with pom-pom trim and a satin ribbon bow. We'll cover trim placement, handmade buttonholes for the satin lace trim, attaching wool to the finished stitching, and round lacing for the top. Your class fee includes the pattern and all stitching and finishing supplies — box, paint, fabric, and trims.  Pattern and stitching kit will be mailed upon request if you'd like to do the pre-stitching.  Pre-stitching is NOT required but it is a quick stitch if you'd like to do so!  Space is limited for this class.  Please select your prefered fabric - 18 Count Aida or 36 Count Linen.

Want your Spooky Drum decked out just like Maria's?   You can add on the special pin set!  

Turn your "Joy" ornament stitching into a flat-fold piece that stands on its own. We'll cover the full finishing process: mounting to matte board with batting, mitering the corners, hand lacing, hand-sewing, cording, and attaching everything with either glue or thread. No finishing experience needed — we'll walk through each step together. Your class fee includes all stitching and finishing materials — matte board, batting, embroidery thread for cording, fabric, glue, and thread.  Kit includes a generous cut of 28 count linen which allows you the choice of stitching the design over 1 or over 2.  There will be finishing supplies available for either option.  Pattern and stitching kit will be mailed upon request if you'd like to do the pre-stitching.  Pre-stitching is NOT required but it is a quick stitch if you'd like to do so!  Space is limited for this class.
