Make a 3D Fabric Hummingbird
Come enjoy a crafty weekend with fiber friends and sew a 3D fabric hummingbird from start to finish with recycled fabrics, using Molly’s very own hummingbird pattern. Topics such as pattern construction and garden pollinators will be discussed. Students will go home with additional paper patterns for flowers and insects to try. This class is for all skill levels, who are interested in mixed media, sewing, 3D fabric art, birds, gardens and pollinators, and meeting other fiber enthusiasts.
