Service Description
Bring your projects and learn how to keep your favorite fashion pieces in action, breathe new life into any old article of clothing! You will learn two techniques, needle felting and hand sewing, and then have the option to work on all of your projects with guidance and direction from your fiber arts educator, Èirigh Hicks. This is an heirloom skill you will have forever! Once you know the basics, you can continue developing your new skill into a host of creative endeavors.
