St Patrick's Applique Tshirt! You bring a tshirt and we will applique a shamrock on it!  I have several great St. Patrick's fabrics that will be so wonderful for this session!

Hi Friends!
I am so excited to let you all know about something new that I am offering @ Marguerite Belle Crafts!

Once or twice a month there will be a mini sewing lesson available.  These lessons are designed to be perfect activities for small groups (3-4 girls max)... Mom is welcome as well!

Each lesson will cover a few basic sewing skills such as:

zig zag stitches
straight stitches
applique
snaps, velcro & closures

and many more...

On 1/26, I will be hosting the first lesson - I am so excited!!

We will kick off the first session with making an applique Heart shirt for a girl, and a coordinating dress for an 18 inch doll!  Each attendee provides a tshirt, and I provide all fabric and notions needed.
The lesson will take approximately 2 hours.  The fee is $20 per attendee.

Skills to be covered:
