About the event
Let's enjoy a last hurrah of the summer while sewing together! Join Wee Things artist Rachel Beaupré in this step-by-step, live, virtual workshop and hand-sew your own Waldorf-inspired caterpillar doll inside a butterfly pocket. We will cover basics such as blanket stitch and straight stitch, as well as simple embroidery and how to form a simplified Waldorf-inspired doll head. Each participant will get to customize their own wee butterfly, choosing skin tone and felt colors. The registration fee includes a complete kit of materials and instructions MAILED via USPS to your door as well as the virtual workshop ticket. Your kit will include printed directions, cotton knit skin fabric, plant-dyed wool felt in three colors, wool batting, embroidery floss, crochet cotton, cotton twill tape, and a needle–a beautifully natural lineup!
This class is beginner friendly and requires no previous sewing experience. It is recommended for adults or very experienced older children (ages 12+).
The finished butterflies are about 5 inches wide, although the pattern may be scaled.
