Description: Students will learn the basics of needle felting on a flat surface. We will needle felt a design of their choice and felt it to a piece of hand crafted felt. When this is done the front and back of the pouch will be stitched together. If time allows, a blanket stitch will be added to the outside edge. This class produces a 6″x8″ lined felted pouch.
