Join Sheila Cailleau of Magpie Chiq in makingwarm mittens.
In this workshop you will learn how to cut and sew sheep shearling or hand plucked and sheared beaver and leather, plus you will burn a small image into the leather to truly customize your mitts. This is a three day workshop that will have some homework.
It is helpful if you already know how to sew, but even if you don't you will have fun either way , possibly learn a new skill or tap into a hidden talent , meet new friends and have a lot of laughs.
