Wonky Houses – Kathleen Laurel Sage’s popular workshop is back for a return visit!
Free Motion Wonky Houses is a charming fun filled workshop where you will create a selection of little house scenes that can all be sewn together to create a small or much larger wall hanging. You will be shown how to create the scenes and how to bring them alive with free motion stitching before embellishing them fully with buttons, beads, and sequins, along with a little simple hand embroidery.
