About the event
I have fond childhood memories of picking up boxes of peeping chicks from the post office in our small town. My mom kept a flock of a few dozen laying hens, and it was always a magical time when a batch of new chicks arrived in the mail!
In this workshop, we'll work together, step-by-step, to sew a batch of tiny chicks and their felt nesting box. I will supply everything you need, from the fabrics (yellow cashmere and plant-dyed felts in salmon and brown), matching threads, wool batting, and needle, to the printed directions.
