About the Class
Felt applique is fun, colorful and portable! These pillows are fast and fun to stitch up and make great additions to your spring and summer decor. Use them in dough bowls, on tiered trays or anywhere you want a splash of fresh and colorful handmade fun. In this class we will learn the techniques for cutting out pattern pieces with freezer paper. Embroidery stitches such as French knots, Lazy daisy and whip stitch. You will walk away with a solid start on your first Summer fruit pillow. Remember- hand stitching is a marathon, not a sprint. :)
I will provide freezer paper templates to use in class, so no prep work is needed.
Fabric Requirements
You will need a fat quarter (or scraps) of fabric for the pillow. Felt (I recommend wool blend felt) will also be needed. Kits will be offered for each pillow at $18 each.
Instructor
Amy Chappell
Hi! I'm Amy Chappell and I hate writing bios in third person, so I'm just going to write it like this! I'm the mom of six kids and I learned early on that I needed an outlet to keep myself grounded and happy. This is where creating and sewing came to be a prominent feature of my life. I have been writing my blog Ameroonie Designs since 2008 and started writing patterns a few years later. My goal is to make creativity more accessible by designing and teaching patterns that are quick to make and don't cost a lot of money. I love embroidery and hand stitching and of course quilting. My favorite projects are seasonal elements I can bring into my home to make it cozy, festive and fun for my family.
