Fun and Fancy; Make a Purse
One day workshop
All skill levels
Create stunning purses that can be finished in practically no time. Make your own in class, embellish it with trims, ribbons, buttons, bows, lace, fabric, found objects and then dive into the wonderful world of beads! We will learn what beads to buy, how to sew them and how to make your own lavish beaded dangles and fringes.
