Teacher: Carolyn Standing Webb
Class days: February 18-19, 2012 (Saturday-Sunday)
Style: Counted thread, sewing and design
Skill level: Beginner to Advanced
Kit fee: US $65.00

Come and join us for an adventure in stitching and finishing. This sewing roll is adapted from an antique Shaker Sewing roll in my collection and comes with a bag to keep it in. You will be able to choose from a number of different bands to create just your own small sampler for the front of the sewing roll. Part of the class will be used to actually sew the inside of the roll so when you have finished stitching your sampler you will have the rest of it ready to put the 32 count linen in place. There is a matching pin cushion for the set plus ideas for scissors fobs.
