Workshop Description
In this workshop you will use fabric collage, hand and free machine stitching to create a beautiful and detailed lid for your treasure box. Suzette will share her ideas on how to create bunches of daisies and other flowers with fabric and stitch and there is room for a small bird if you would like too. You will cover the base of your box with fabric to compliment. When your piece of work is finished, it will be folded and tucked and will need just a couple of stitches to keep it in place.
The addition of a bee, a ladybird might be the finishing stitches but then there is always room for a stitched message and a french knot or two. There will be plenty of treasure boxes for inspiration.
