Woodland Animal Friends Workshop
with Deborah Fisher
In this workshop we will sew the Woodland Animal Friends pattern from Fish Museum and Circus. Bear has a simple to construct three dimensional nose, is the perfect size for tucking under an arm, and even has an optional jacket and pants. Rabbit is the comic relief of the bunch, with loads of personality in a streamlined pattern, and a super cute strawberry vest. Bird has whimsical ribbon feathers for flying around to scout out adventures. Learn about sewing curves and three dimensional construction while adding custom details to your animals.
