What does this workshop cover?In the workshop you can choose from two lovely layered pictures and create your own layered raw edge applique and freemotion masterpiece. Throughout the workshop you will be guided through each individual step with clear and detailed plans to build up your picture in your chosen fabric. Nicely presented in a special frame you can choose to add buttons or bead embellishments and a lovely ribbon to finish off your layered picture.
You will be taught all the skills needed to make the most out of this fantastic technique and leave the workshop with the knowledge and ability to continue with your own designs in the future.
